Sea Level Rise and Heritage Sites in Florida Lecture
Presented by Florida Humanities
Thursday, June 18
3:00pm - 4:00pm
Explore how rising seas and storms destroy global heritage. Archaeologists share lessons on human adaptation, featuring Floridian examples of sites facing environmental change.
New weather patterns, larger storms, and rising sea levels are challenging communities and transforming conventional thinking. Archaeologists document the shifting seascape’s destruction of archaeological and historical sites and offer long-term perspectives on human adaptation and maladaptation to environmental changes. This presentation is global in scope and includes Floridian archaeological perspectives.
