Physical #geography project ⚒️
Day 6
Last #excursion day 🇬🇷
6 student projects presented field site, methods & preliminary results. From hills & old terraces to modern agriculture & sand dunes. Each year are different people, tasks & goals. The 3 instructors & 30 students are delighted #fieldteaching
Both heads of the department taught classes at the same time today. Must be a first? @stefanwastegard won with numbers of students in Quaternary geology. I had a dedicated bunch in the master program in Landscape ecology plus two lecturers

Lousios canyon in Greece is spectacular
Different types of bedrock, stalagmites, caves, landforms that are difficult to find in a post-glacial landscape in Sweden . Happy tired students on the Physical Geography course
Prodromou monastery is a bonus #FieldTeaching @Stockholm_Uni
Student excursion to Greece continued with different types of erosion. Quick and slow. Physical Geography project course at @Stockholms_univ #EarthScience #FieldTeaching #Methoni #Kalamata @navarinoNEO
The course on physical Geography project is back in Greece. We started the day with Paleocastro and then on to different student projects. Modern & old terraces, dunes, erosion, olives, tectonics, Spartans #navarino #landscapes #soils #FieldTeaching @Stockholm_Uni @navarinoNEO
Field excursion in #geology #earthscience ends. We've seen fabulous bedrock, land forms & some biodiversity. Translating our processes' time scales to something "graspable" each year=second. I'm 20 sec, Sarah (geomorphology) 30 min, Alasdair 63 years @Stockholm_Uni #fieldTeaching
Post-glacial fault lines. I see the beautiful gnarly trees and soft cuddly lichens and mosses. All in the eye of the beholder. #fieldTeaching #landscapes
@CobbinSteve1 one for you
The importance of ancient grasslands for #carbon storage & #biodiversity. Left #soil from ancient grassland, right from former crop field that have been grazed for 100 years. Grasslands that have been managed for over 1000 years #fieldTeaching #earthscience @Stockholm_Uni
Coring soils is always fun. Beautiful varved clays from lower lying terrain and mysterious shell layers in the esker with 4 m sediments on top (pinkish in the photo). And some tough plants too Thymus serpyllum. #fieldTeaching #geography #geology @Stockholm_Uni
Excursion jump island, from old, very old, rocks and plastic forms on Utö to Quaternary sediments on Munsö. Quite different vegetation too

Day two on Geology excursion. Lots of rocks. Crystals. Lichen on iron ore redder because of the hematite. Two billion year sea floor bedding. And a lot of plant communities on felsic and mafic bedrock. How to trace land uplift too #fieldTeaching #earthscience @Stockholm_Uni
Earth science field excursion! Usually we go to Scotland but Baltic islands can be pretty challenging too. The geology site is below the crashing waves. Luckily we are so good at improvising! Safety first. 😍

Real live STUDENTS! Amazing day out with 1st year students on the #Biology and #Earth #science program. A bit about everything in one day before they start their 3 years. Maps, biodiversity, ruins, forestry, carnivorous plants, bogs, soils, climate #FieldTeaching @Stockholms_univ
Today's adventure went along present & ancient shorelines, Littorina, Ancylus, grave field along 1000old shorelines (3-4 m Higher today), spits. An some biodiversity too.
Different ways to keep warm in the gale @Stockholm_Uni #earthscience #fieldTeaching #trullshalsar #eskelhem
Brave brave students!
Korumpan #gotland #earthscience #fieldTeaching
Noooo I'm not bitter. Not at all
🙄 Weather we're we are and we're we should have been sans Covid-19.
Well it's not going to rain... 🥶 #fieldTeaching #teachinginapandemic
Third day of the excursion in Physical Geography @Stockholm_Uni today calcareous bedrock with alvar, cement industry (old and new), conflicts, carbon emissions, eskers, bulwark, dendochronology, pines, eagles, shore meadows, sea levels
In the cold, wind and snow #fieldTeaching
Same excursion but different places due to Covid-19. It is challenging to look at landforms, landscapes, vegetation and bedrock in Sweden in March instead of Greece. Courageous students! #teachinginapandemic #earthscience #fieldTeaching #geography #biogeography @Stockholm_Uni
While the students are learning about moraine and how to measure clast sizes I practice my tree coring skills (much needed). Beautiful semi-open mown and grazed grasslands in a landscape mapped 1630
@Stockholm_Uni #earthscience #fieldTeaching #maps #landscapehistory
Elements and measurements were the focus of the excursion today. Ytterby mine (discovery of many elements) and Lyell's Oak (sea level changes). Not so much biogeography - except for the oak #geology #earthscience #physicalgeography #fieldTeaching #excursion
@Stockholm_Uni
We rock on! Different types of bedrock, where and how it was formed, glaciation, land uplift (billions of years ago and today) and vegetation, soils and land use. @Stockholm_Uni #earthscience #fieldTeaching #maps #Utö
We start the formation of "Sweden" 2 billions years ago
@Stockholm_Uni #earthscience #fieldTeaching #Utö
Jag ser fram emot att få välkomna livs levande studenter till höstterminen - IRL - och extra att få vara ute i naturen och bedriva fältundervisning @Stockholms_univ #15juni #fieldteaching
