Hydrology and Fluvial Geomorphology
The students will conduct a detailed field study of an upland river catchment at up to three sites, using field equipment such as impellors, clinometers and floats, which leads to an understanding of past and present geomorphological processes. Spreadsheets and previous data is available on our resources pages for follow up work.
A classic example of "hands on" fieldwork very suitable for GCSE and A level geographers and one of our most popular days.
Suitable for: KS3 and GCSE
