This hands-on field study allows students to investigate the impact of artificial features on the natural coastline. Students compare a section of the beach that has been altered by human intervention with a nearby, untouched area. They will observe firsthand the effects and changes to the coast. Through this investigation, students will deepen their understanding of coastal dynamics and the balance between artificial structures and the natural coastline. We offer an entirely outdoor field study experience. Our structured workbooks with clear instructions ensure students collect accurate, relevant data that directly supports their GI write-up. We will provide Wellington boots. clipboards and specialist equipment to ensure students can comfortably engage with their fieldwork. Programme example: 11.00 am Arrive and meet the instructors, have snacks, and have time to use the facilities. 11.15 am Safety brief, change into Wellingtons, and collect equipment.
