A Day at the Beach for Fourth Year Geographers

Fourth Year geographers went in search of the sun last Thursday and found plenty of it on the south coast. They spent the day investigating the impact of different coastal management schemes such as beach replenishment and sea walls on coastal processes and coastal morphology at Seaford and Cuckmere. They used a range of fieldwork equipment to measure beach profiles and sediment size as well as undertaking environmental quality surveys on the management schemes identified. A very successful day in a beautiful part of the country was finished off with a well-deserved ice cream.
