Group of four students working together to the push the tall coring auger into the soil in a grassy field in Llangorse, Wales.
Two students hold an auger looking at a core just taken from a waterlogged grassy field in Llangorse, Wales.
Group of students and post doctoral assistant pose holding coring equipment, facing the camera. Standing in long grass in a field in Llangorse, Wales. Hedgerows and hills in the distance. Blue skies with light white clouds above.
A sediment core, with laminations showing (coloured bands ranging from cream and shades of brown) lying in the metal coring equipment flat on the grass. A tape measure sits along one side.
🥾☀️Our second-year Environmental Change students visited Llangorse, Wales for some sediment coring practice. Lots of enthusiasm for the Lateglacial sequences under sunny skies. Next step is to analyse the cores in the labs. #EnvironmentalChange #QuaternaryScience #RHULGeogUndergrad #RHULGeogResearch
