Colin Grier
The past several years have seen Colin Grier turn to near-surface geophysical methods to complement the household excavations he has undertaken in the Salish Sea. Shoreline erosion mitigation and site preservation continue to be a focus as well, as sea level rise and human development are having a major impact on the archaeological record of the Salish Sea. Such issues continue to fuel his long-term partnerships with First Nations and Native American Tribes, as well as new conservation and research efforts in south Puget Sound (at the WSU Meyer’s Point Environmental Field Station) and with graduate students working in the San Juan Islands.
