This field course consists of a one-day accessible visit to a site of local interest where students are introduced to key concepts of Geoscience as an integrated discipline. The theme of the day will be to ‘flow through time’ by integrating geological, geographical and archaeological perspectives of local landscapes and settlements. Mini in-field lectures will be interspersed with interactive, hands-on activities in small groups. No prior knowledge is needed.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
