An individual wearing a red jacket and a knit beanie stands in a marshy, mountainous landscape while holding a long, slender peat coring tool vertically. The person is smiling and positioned in the center of the frame, surrounded by brown grasses and patches of moss. Behind them, steep, rugged mountains are partially covered in a light dusting of snow under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, field equipment including a notebook and a small mallet lie on the damp ground next to a muddy puddle.

Another day, another field trip This time w/our first year #geographers exploring the hills above Llanberis Putting theory into practice to uncover the landscape evolution from the pre-Cambrian right up to the Anthropocene So lucky this is on our doorstep!
An group of eleven people stand together for a group photo on a rocky beach. The group is composed of young adults, mostly in their late teens or early twenties. They are all dressed in outdoor gear, including jackets, hats, and backpacks. The beach is covered in small, smooth rocks, and there is a large rock formation to the left of the group. In the background, there is a sandy beach and the ocean. The sky is blue with some white clouds. The people are all smiling and look happy to be there. The sun is shining, and the light is bright. The image is taken from a slightly elevated perspective.
Today we were out at Red Wharf Bay w/our #geographers & #oceanscience students talking all things Carboniferous, & some glaciology too #Smallgroup #teaching each w/a member of staff So luck this site is just 20 mins from our department
A wide-angle, eye-level shot shows the terminus of Nigardsbreen glacier in Norway, a massive wall of jagged, bright blue ice. The glacier's surface is uneven with deep crevasses and sharp ridges. It sits at the base of dark, rocky mountains partially covered in snow under a pale, overcast sky. In the foreground, a vast expanse of grey, glaciated bedrock and loose gravel leads to the ice. Several small, yellow warning signs on thin poles are scattered across the rocky terrain near the glacier's edge. A small stream of meltwater flows from beneath the ice on the left.
Today is #WorldGlacierDay so here's one from a few years ago when our colleague Dr Lynda Yorke visited Nigardsbreen, Norway ... the glacier has receded quite a bit since then ๐
A group of approximately 20 young adults stands on a grassy, sunlit ridge in a mountainous landscape, likely the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia, Wales. They are dressed in various hiking and casual outdoor clothing, including hoodies, t-shirts, and backpacks. To the right, a massive, steep, and rocky mountain peak (resembling Pen yr Ole Wen) dominates the background under a clear, bright blue sky. The terrain around the group consists of dry grass and low-lying dark brush, with more distant hills and a valley visible to the far left.
Yesterday we were out with our #geographers and #oceansciences #students exploring Cwm Idwal's geological, glacial and human history ... what a perfect day and just 20mins from our department #fieldwork
Why choose geography? ๐

A group of approximately twenty university students and staff pose for a photo in a lecture hall. The group is diverse in appearance, standing and kneeling in front of a white dry-erase board. On a projector screen above them, a slide titled "Climate Change and Cultural Heritage in North Wales: A Complex Link" is displayed, along with the speaker's name, Giuseppe Forino. A dog stands on the far left next to a man in a red sweater. The people are smiling, suggesting the end of a successful presentation or class.
Last night our Student GeogSoc hosted a guest talk: Dr Giuseppe Forino (UoSalford) was talking about research he has been undertaking with Dr Lynda Yorke on climate change, cultural heritage and communication in north Wales Great attendance ... we look forward to more of these across the coming year
