Dr. Harold Borns, University of Maine Professor Emeritus of Glacial and Quaternary Geology, was featured by Channel 7 for his Ice Age Trail map—which includes 46 destinations in Downeast, Maine that people can visit to learn about unique landscape formed by glaciers.

The map now is available in digital form as an iPad app called Maine Ice Age Trail Map and Guide: Down East. Josh Plourde, creator of the app and communications manager at the UMaine Advanced Structures and Composites Center, also was featured in the video.
