Abstract:

Dr. Stan Riggs and his colleagues at East Carolina University have just turned out a first-class study and prognosis on North Carolina's coast. In the most recent piece, NORTH CAROLINA'S COAST IN CRISIS: A VISION FOR THE FUTURE, Riggs has gone from observing to predicting--the seas are rising at an increasingly rapid rate and believes the Outer Banks will become a series of islands rather than a narrow barrier island.
