Aims

On completion of this module, students should have acquired greater expertise in the basic field and communication skills introduced in the first-year course, together with additional skills such as field, graphical, sampling, and geophysical methods, the production of geological maps, and a greater breadth of field experience.

Brief description

This module centres on two field courses: one normally held during the September preceding 2nd year studies, and emphasising field techniques, the other held during the Easter vacation, and aimed at broadening the student's experience of field-based issues relevant to the Environmental Earth Science course. The module includes tutorial classes, and other meetings ancillary to the fieldwork.
