In Norwich, they explored research methods around changing places and contemporary urban environments, including sensory mapping, epitome words, environmental quality indexes and retail quality indexes. In Southwold, they looked at strategies to collect data around coastal systems such as beach profile measurements and wave surveys, as well as a range of sampling techniques. 

The group stayed at the University of East Anglia campus and utilised Earlham Park to investigate data collection approaches related to water and carbon cycles, including rates of carbon sequestration, infiltration rates and air quality transects. 

Following this fieldwork and the day trip to King’s Cross earlier in the year, our students are now formulating their own enquiries, methods and methodologies, and getting ready to collect their own data over the summer holidays.
