Repertoire of Lectures: Baltic
The Viking Homelands are on the way up! The lands of the rising coastline, Sweden and Finland. Isostatic rebound in the Fennoscandian peninsula from Its geologic and Ice age origins; the scientific puzzle this presented to the Medieval Age population; to the modern day problems this phenomenon continues to create.
The geological hazards of St. Petersburg and the Gulf of Finland. The flood prone area of St. Petersburg and the Neva River. How did they build a flood barrier and the world’s deepest metro system.
Man’s search for natural resources in the Baltic area, from the Vikings through the Hanseatic League to the current day. A historical discussion of the natural resource wealth of the Baltic area, from forager cultures of the Viking period of exploration; the massive globalization of trades in the Baltic during the Middle Ages Hanseatic league period, to current day hydro-solar-wind electrical grid that is under construction.
The Vikings from a geological viewpoint. A look at their usage of natural resources. What did they use and where did they find it? What did they trade and how did they become such formidable explorers? (Customized to cruise itinerary)
