Due to adverse weather conditions etc. the sequence may be changed or the content of an individual day may be changed. Adverse weather may affect the time spent on a particular project.
A variety of tasks will be set using field techniques appropriate to the geological problem under investigation. Some of the work will be marked (provisionally indicated by *). We may change the days we choose to mark and may take your general performance and attitude throughout the field course into consideration when arriving at a final mark.
