@hertsgep delivering the FIRST #drone-piloting (UAV) course for our #Geography and #Environment students at our environmental field station. Herts is one of a handful of UK universities offering hands-on #drone flight experience to students. #GoHerts #ChooseGeography @rgs_ibg @theies_uk

After Easter we took our 2nd year #geography and #environment BSc students to Wester Ross for the @hertsgep #Quaternary field-course. An amazing week of Scottish sunshine, stunning scenery and fabulous fieldwork, with students gaining lots of key field skills. #iceage @uniofherts

Glorious day for surveying, sediments and geotechnical analysis of the landslides at Warden Point, Kent with 2nd year geomorphology class @hertsgep @uniofherts #fieldworkfriday #landslide #geography #university

Very exciting to grow lenses of segregation #ice and observe frost heave in our final year #periglacial lab today @hertsgep @uniofherts.bsky.social

3 weeks to go til our @hertsgep final year #Glacial and #Periglacial #fieldtrip to #Snowdonia @UniofHerts @uniofhertslms @RGS_IBG #fieldwork #ChooseGeography

Nice raised beach deposits (~+4 m OD) of possible MIS7 or 5e age, with #periglacial head and windblown sands at #Godrevy #Quaternary #Kernow

There’s a nice sand-blow story for someone to reconstruct down here if not done already. Medieval field systems upslope …

Last bit of #fieldwork for the year - some nice #moraine work in the Shap Fells, Cumbria. Time to warm up and dry out @hertsgep

Geoffrey and Jemima were really loving the excellent London #Quaternary Lectures up until the bit about Pleistocene #megafauna extinctions @rhulgeography.bsky.social

My first post on this platform so thought I’d share some treasures from a recent trip to the Early-Mid Pleistocene ‘Contorted Drift’ in N Norfolk: chalk rafts, glacitectonite and thrusts galore!
