PSA The Next Tsunami
Author to Speak
Coos Bay Public Library welcomes journalist Bonnie Henderson on Thursday, Oct. 15that 7:00 p.m. Henderson is author of the critically acclaimed 2014 book, The Next Tsunami: Living on a Restless Coast.
The Next Tsunami explores how we
know what we know about plate tectonics, the science of earthquakes and
tsunamis generally, and the Cascadia Subduction Zone in particular. It follows
the stories of such figures as German meteorologist Alfred Wegener, formulating
his theory of continental drift while gazing at ice floes calving from Greenland glaciers, and
geologist Brian Atwater, paddling his dented aluminum canoe up muddy coastal
streams looking for layers of peat sandwiched between the sand and silt.
Everyone is welcome at this program
sponsored by The Friends of Coos Bay Public Library. No admission is
charged and refreshments will be served. Please call 269-1101 for further information on this program.
