Science Sips

Science Sips is a series hosted by Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, Sketchbook Brewing Company, and Northwestern University’s Center for Water that brings together researchers, scientists, and curious minds over good conversation and cold drinks. Each event features experts sharing their work in an accessible, informal setting. No lab coat required.
At this gathering, Illinois State Geological Survey’s Mitch Barklage will explore why some beaches erode while others don’t, using Illinois Beach State Park as a case study to explain how shoreline erosion occurs. Lara Biggs from the City of Evanston will also share an update on Evanston’s lakefront plan and how decisions are being made about the city’s shoreline.
