Eleanore Heasley BSc Geography, final year

During a four-week trip to South East Asia Eleanore undertook regular transects on the Mekong. Her activities involved using specialist equipment to monitor river velocity and collect suspended sediment samples.

“I was really excited to join a research team in Cambodia studying the way climate fluctuations affect the transfer of sediment along the Mekong River. This was made possible by a Royal Geographical Society fieldwork bursary that my lecturer supported me to apply for.

“It was an amazing opportunity and has shaped everything I have done since – I have chosen every module available on rivers! The experience also helped me to get an internship with an environmental charity looking at freshwater quality.

“I’ve been accepted to do a PhD in environmental research and in future I’d love to work in river management.”

The next generation of satellite sensors Geography and Environment researchers are helping the European Space Agency (ESA) to monitor key environmental markers. The ESA has initiated a programme to launch a series of satellites in 2015/16, called the Sentinel series, that will provide data to support the European Commission initiative under the Copernicus programme. Dr Jadu Dash is leading a project to develop algorithms for two satellites to estimate the levels of chlorophyll in vegetation. The team is using data from computer models and airborne sensors, the results of which will inform a wide range of operational services such as agricultural productivity and food security, understanding carbon, water and nutrient cycles, forestry and environmental monitoring. You will have the opportunity to learn from Jadu about the relevance of these techniques on our Remote Sensing for Earth Observation module.

Our courses are informed by the research strengths of our academic team; these include cutting-edge areas of human geography. One example is our Experimental Geographies module, developed by social geographer, urban explorer and photographer Dr Bradley Garrett. Bradley’s research is inspired by his fascination with hidden, overlooked and forgotten environments. A seasoned ‘place-hacker’, his books recount his experiences of urban exploration – the controversial practice of venturing into off-limits buildings and spaces. These expeditions have taken him from the depths of disused London underground stations to the top of the Shard building while it was still under construction. “All of my projects work to reveal, through experiential engagement, what is hidden from plain sight,” says Bradley. Bradley’s pioneering third-year Experimental Geographies module gives students the opportunity to experience hidden spaces for themselves by exploring abandoned buildings and telling stories about these spatially marginalised places through audio, video or photography. The module also features guest lecturers from different creative perspectives, including psychogeographer Will Self and leading sound artists and filmmakers.

Apply your knowledge in the field Fieldwork is one of the most valuable and exciting elements of a geography degree. Day trips and residential courses in the UK and abroad enable you to put your knowledge into practice and develop your research skills. Whether exploring stream dynamics, investigating the urban environment of a European city or studying glacial landscapes, our field trips offer a wide range of research topics with which you can actively engage. They are also a great way of getting to know your peers and academic staff. Recent overseas fieldwork locations include Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona, the Swiss Alps, Tenerife and the Picos de Europa in northern Spain. The compulsory field courses in years one and two are funded by the University, so you’ll only need to cover incidental expenses during these trips. An exciting addition to our residential fieldcourses is our new integrated module Water, People and Environment involving group project work on the Mekong River, Cambodia.

Considering how river bank erosion affects the lives of those living along the Mekong is just one of the many issues explored in our Water, People and Environment module 26 FIRST-YEAR FIELD COURSES Our UK-based trips introduce you to a range of general techniques
