...trip this summer will consist of a study of shore line changes along the Atlantic coast. Professor Johnson, accompanied by two assistants, will examine the more important shore line features from the Bay of Fundy to southern Florida, giving special attention to geologically recent changes in the forms of beaches and to supposed evidence of recent coastal subsidence.
