@AdepalmerA Donβt worry weβre still covering all the great Quaternary content, with lots of hands on practical experience of proxies and archives, but now we help people better apply and communicate their knowledge and to gain insights from complex datasets.

The new course content includes two residential field trips, and focused practical applications of palaeodata to address current questions. We have new modules on climate data science and communicating this information to non specialist audiencesβ¦

Pollen identification practical today for our GG2041 students. This work builds on the coring fieldtrip and core description work last term to build an understanding of how the climate & environment have changed through time. #rhulgeogundergrad #studygeography #geographydegree

In October 1958, many of the Summer Isles were auctioned in Edinburgh. Barrabel Mason (12), her siblings Fiona and Donald, and cousin Phillip, pooled their pocket money and bid on Sgeirean Glasa ("grey skerries"). Won for Β£50, it had excellent rockpooling. #OldWeirdScotland
