Mark Lorang, a research associate professor at the Yellow Bay Biological Station, walks the north shore of Flathead Lake as he has many times since 1986. Lorang has measured severe erosion along the shoreline over the last 20 years. The erosion has toppled some trees and left others standing, roots bare, in the sand. Karen Nichols/Inter Lake
