They have investigated river, beach and soil environments and microclimates to develop their knowledge of Physical Geography fieldwork techniques. They have also completed rural and urban land use mapping; traffic surveys; pedestrian counts and environmental quality surveys to enhance their experience of using Human Geography fieldwork techniques. This knowledge will be further developed as part of their folio and used in exams.<\/p>\n<p>For further updates on what&#8217;s happening in Geography, please see our departmental Twitter page @GeoGreenfaulds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/ghshome\/files\/2021\/09\/Advanced-Higher-Geography-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4110\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/ghshome\/files\/2021\/09\/Advanced-Higher-Geography-3-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/ghshome\/files\/2021\/09\/Advanced-Higher-Geography-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4109\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/ghshome\/files\/2021\/09\/Advanced-Higher-Geography-2-300x249.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"249\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/ghshome\/files\/2021\/09\/Advanced-Higher-Geography-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4108\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/nl\/ghshome\/files\/2021\/09\/Advanced-Higher-Geography-1-168x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ENGLISH DEPARTMENT COMPETITION Are you the next Hemingway?
