The Center for Coastal Studies’ popular Napi’s Winter Lecture Series concludes on Wednesday, March 25, at 5 pm with Dr. Katie Castagno, Director of the Center’s Land-Sea Interaction Program. Dr. Castagno will speak about “The Land-Sea Interaction Program Through (Geologic) Time.”
The event will be held at the Center’s Hiebert Marine Laboratory, 5 Holway Avenue, Provincetown. Admission is free, and the talk will also be broadcast via Zoom. Refreshments will be served.
Cape Cod has long been shaped by the dynamic interactions of the land and the sea. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Center for Coastal Studies, Dr. Castagno explores the Cape’s geologic evolution alongside the history of the Land–Sea Interaction Program. Through multimedia excerpts from oral history interviews with Center co-founder Dr. Graham Giese, past and present perspectives come together, highlighting five decades of coastal science and the ongoing work of understanding a continually evolving shoreline.
The Napi’s Winter Lecture Series is named after the restaurant owned by the late Napi and Helen Van Dereck, longtime supporters of the Center for Coastal Studies, who originally hosted these talks in their famous Provincetown restaurant, Napi’s. While the location of the lectures has moved to the Center’s Hiebert Marine Laboratory, the name of this popular event is still called Napi’s Winter Lecture Series, in memory of our friends Napi and Helen.
Reservations requested but not required. Admission is free. Refreshments will be served.
