Enhanced Visualisation of the Flat Landscape of the Cambridgeshire Fenlands
Geology Today, 2015, 31(5), 187-192 Enhanced visualization of the flat landscape of the Cambridgeshire Fenlands Oliver Pritchard*, Timothy Farewell and Stephen Hallett. School of Energy, Environment and Agrifood, Cranfield University, Cranfield, Bedfordshire, MK43 0AL. *Corresponding Author: Oliver Pritchard School of Energy, Environment and Agrifood, Cranfield University, Cranfield, Bedfordshire, MK43 0AL. Email: [email protected] Summary The fenlands of East Anglia represent a subtle landscape, where topographic highs rarely exceed 30m above sea level. However, the fens represent an almost full sequence of Quaternary deposits, together with islands of Cretaceous and Jurassic outcrops, making the area of geological importance. This feature discusses the advantages of using 3D visualisation coupled with high-resolution topographic data, over traditional 2D techniques, when undertaking an analysis of the landscape. Conclusions suggest that the use of 3D visualisation will result in a higher level of engagement, particularly when communicating geological information to those outside academia. 1. Introduction The East Anglian Fenlands have been described by some as a flat, unpromising wilderness. On one hand, the fenland area is extremely low-lying with extensive swathes of land actually below sea level and where topographic ‘highs’ struggle to reach 30m above sea level (Figure 1). However, geologically, the Fenlands provide us with an almost complete sequence of Quaternary superficial deposits. Coupled with outcrops or islands of Jurassic and Cretaceous strata (e.g. the Isle of Ely), these deposits give the area its national geological and scientific importance. Whilst traditional two-dimensional (2D) mapping of the area has revealed much of the complex geological and geomorphological history, the increasing availability of three-dimensional (3D) visualisation software to the earth scientist has resulted in a new dimension (pardon the pun) to geological and landscape interpretation. -

E-mail address: [email protected] (D.M.Smith). Abstract The roddons of the English Fenlands are fossilized silt and sand-filled tidal creek systems of mid to late Holocene age, incised into contemporaneous clay deposits. However, anthropogenic change (drainage and agriculture) has caused the former channels to become positive topographical features. Three stratigraphically discrete generations of roddon have been discriminated. They all show well-developed dendritic meander patterns, but there is little or no evidence of sand/silt infill during meandering; thus, unlike modern tidal creeks and rivers they typically lack laterally stacked point bar deposits, suggesting rapid infill. Major “trunk” roddons are rich in fine sands and there is little change in grain-size from 1 roddon mouth to the upper reaches, suggesting highly effective sand transport mechanisms and uniform conditions of deposition. Tributaries are silt-rich, while minor tributaries also have a significant clay component. During infill, active drainage networks appear to have been choked by sediment, converting mudflat/saltmarsh environments into widespread peat- forming freshwater reed swamps. -
An Anthropocene Landscape Drainage Transformed in the English Fenland
6 An Anthropocene Landscape Drainage Transformed in the English Fenland Jan A. Zalasiewicz, Mark Williams, and Dinah M. Smith Alterations to the global fluvial system associated with the onset of the Anthropocene have been profound (Syvitski et al. 2005; Syvitski and Kettner 2011; Merritts et al. 2011; Williams et al. 2014). They have involved both direct reengi- neering of river systems to, for instance, “stabilize” channels, prevent active mean- dering, and impound water in dams; and indirect changes resulting from land use change, commonly involving such phenomena as increased sediment supply from deforestation and urbanization. However, the spectrum of changes goes beyond such well-documented effects to produce some novel and geologically counter- intuitive phenomena that have already produced a significant geomorphic signa- ture. These phenomena will continue to evolve and leave a distinctive stratigraphic signature as the cumulative effects of anthropogenic changes work through the Earth System. Here we describe one such example, from the Holocene deposits of the English Fenland, in which an extensive buried channel system is spectacularly exhumed and then topographically inverted by regional anthropogenic modifi- cation. This geologically novel transformation will be a strong influence on the course of future change in the region as global climate warms. GEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK The English Fenland covers areas of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, northern Norfolk, and parts of Suffolk and is the largest area of Holocene deposits (some 4,000 km2) in Britain. Fenland sedimentary deposits are up to 30 m (more typically up to 20 m) thick, and they show evidence of a complex paleoenvironmental history. 75 76 Chapter Six They exist atop a pre-Holocene surface mostly composed of Jurassic clays (French 2003) overlain by Pleistocene tills, sands, and gravels (Wyatt 1984). -

A Great Place to Work ACTION No 1 – Led by College Of
Progress update on the Wisbech 2020 Vision – January 2015 Wisbech – A Great Place to Work ACTION No 1 – Led by College of West Anglia (David Pomfret) We will assess information UPDATE: currently held in relation to local skills audits to ensure a better An audit carried out showed that skills found to be lacking include: match between education/courses on offer and • Enough understanding of what it takes to be employable generically the needs of local businesses • Lack of knowledge about the specific skill or qualification requirements within specific sectors • Lack of communication and interpersonal skills • Inability to complete a descriptive letter of application • Lack of understanding around the need to research the company and what the job entails when applying for a position Issues around specific sectors include: • lack of qualified personnel across the technician and supervisory job range to meet employers needs especially in engineering and manufacturing sectors but also in a broad spectrum of trades from electrical and mechanical engineering across to technician IT • There are still jobs available in health and social care but employers say that many youngsters do not want to work the shift patterns or deal with some of the job roles. FDC and the College of West Anglia (CWA) have been working with the Fenland Enterprise Education (FEE) project to link schools to local employers as a way of improving youngsters knowledge of the requirements of employment across different sectors. The FEE project ran successfully for three years, bringing around 5000 students into contact with business people. FEE was very successful in bringing employers into Fenland Schools to support some of the employability issues listed above.
