MSc Field Trip

Hi all and Happy New Year !

I have sent out the following email to those of you who started this year:

Hi all,

As you all know, there is an MSc field trip in the Lake District that runs from:

Monday 31st March – Thursday 3rd April inclusive (4 days / 3 nights).

Full-time students taking EMSD/EMB/SA would normally be expected to attend.
The trip is also open to PT and PT/DL students who wish to attend (strongly advised to attend).

The trip includes a formative assessment for Research Design & Methods. I am allowing PT/PT-DL students to attend in their first year so they can stay with their own cohort and familiar friends – but you are welcome to attend the trip next year if you prefer (as part of year 2). I amalso happy for PT stduents from last year to attend if they wish.

The trip is a very valuable way of getting hands-on experience of specialist field equipment used in industry – as well as standard techniques for both field data collection and laboratory analysis.

The trip has an “earth, air and water” format which includes activities as diverse as air pollution monitoring, GIS, spectroradiometry, vegetation and soil assessment and water analysis. Even if you do not intend to use such techniques in your future career, you may be supervising people who do.

The cost is £120 which includes transport, accommodation, breakfast and lab fees etc.

I have attached a brochure for you to look at HERE

Please email me confirmation of your attendance no later than the end of Wednesday 22nd January this week.
