Our first year geographers have been honing their human geography methods in Geographical Techniques. Undertaking ethnographic research & working on questionnaire skills in Egham. These skills will develop during our Spanish field trip in January. #RHULGeogUndergrad #RoyalHollowayUniversity

🥾☀️Our second-year Environmental Change students visited Llangorse, Wales for some sediment coring practice. Lots of enthusiasm for the Lateglacial sequences under sunny skies. Next step is to analyse the cores in the labs. #EnvironmentalChange #QuaternaryScience #RHULGeogUndergrad #RHULGeogResearch
Group of four students working together to the push the tall coring auger into the soil in a grassy field in Llangorse, Wales. Two students hold an auger looking at a core just taken from a waterlogged grassy field in Llangorse, Wales. Group of students and post doctoral assistant pose holding coring equipment, facing the camera. Standing in long grass in a field in Llangorse, Wales. Hedgerows and hills in the distance. Blue skies with light white clouds above. A sediment core, with laminations showing (coloured bands ranging from cream and shades of brown) lying in the metal coring equipment flat on the grass.
