Hydrology and Fluvial Geomorphology
Within the beautiful setting of a Peak District valley, our Hydrology day provides an opportunity for students to dust off their wellies and get stuck in to fieldwork, see the river and valley features they have been learning about and explore our stunning National Park. 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. Using this data and observations, students are able to compare the sites to the Bradshaw Models predictions.
One of our most popular days, our Hydrology day is tailored to GCSE Geography students but provides a great opportunity for hands-on fieldwork experience for KS3 and A level geographers.
