Unit 2: Geographical Investigations (AS)
A closer look at how physical and human issues influence lives and can be managed. Students must choose two topics from the four offered in this unit, these must be one physical and one human topic...
Physical Topics
Topic 1: Extreme Weather: with its increasing ferocity and frequency fascinates some people and threatens many others
See the existing WEATHER page for a starting point.
Likely to be our chosen topic....
Topic 2: Crowded Coasts: reveal how increasing development is testing our ability to manage these valued environments
Will involve some coastal fieldwork in the first 5 or 6 weeks of term
See the existing COASTS page for a starting point.
Human Topics
Topic 3: Unequal Spaces: explores how we can improve our own and other people's lives in rural and urban areas
See my existing URBAN-RURAL page for a starting point.
Topic 4: Rebranding Places: focuses on how we need to re-image and regenerate rural and urban places, using appropriate strategies
A new REBRANDING page is now available
