With the new academic year just started, we’re delighted to have budding scientists and future water professionals join the MSc Aquatic Resources Management and MSc Water: Science and Governance programmes. The students are already getting their hands dirty (literally!) on a residential field trip surveying rivers and lakes in Shropshire and Snowdonia. Based at the Preston Montford Field Centre, the students will be jointly working to collect samples and survey data to assess the physical, biological and chemical characteristics of water bodies, mixed with some lab work and guest lectures. So far the weather has been good and the surveys have been ‘monitored’ by curious sheep in the Shropshire hills.
Once again, a big welcome to the students on the two programmes, and best of luck with the rest of the field trip!
