Bruce Perry
Long-term movement along the San Andreas Fault in Southern California has shifted large blocks of Earth’s crust horizontally and vertically, forming a series of mountains and valleys on land and islands and basins off shore. The complex ocean floor off the Southern California coast, called the Continental Borderland, is unique to our planet, and an area of great interest to geologists.
In his lecture, Bruce Perry will cover the evolution of the Continental Borderland and its effects on the current circulation, wave action, and biology of the Southern California Bight (the Southern California coast running from Point Conception to Mexico). He will also discuss basic geologic and oceanographic concepts, as well as recent studies of the Borderland and Bight and ongoing conservation.
Perry holds a BS and MS in geology, teaches oceanography and geology at local community colleges and universities, and has extensive on-the-job training in physical oceanography.
