It was great meeting everyone yesterday! We covered a good amount of basic information on the Atlantic coastline and its processes. Thanks for being active participants in the lecture/discussions.
I have lived and breathed by tidal cycles for the last 15 months of my life, literally planning vacations and scheduling my teaching load around the spring tides. So, I thought I'd share a few cool mega-tidal events. Dr. Smith mentioned that the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, has the largest tidal range in the world. I found this video of the tidal bore at the Bay of Fundy. And here's a video of the awesome tidal bore coming up the Amazon. These events are pretty impressive when compared to the creeping flood tides experienced along some portions of the Florida coast.
