Since 2006 residents at Eastern Bavents, just north of Southwold have battled to have their stretch of coast defended by the sea, it still remains exposed. Yet just metres away a £8.5 million investment protects the tourist town of Southwold. Students will investigate the case for defending Eastern Bavents by completing a cost benefit analysis, flood risk mapping and field sketches. Students will develop literacy and numeracy skills In the follow-up assessment where a careful justification of spending will need to be considered.

The most affordable NEA fieldwork option. Focused on supporting the design and collection of independent data for the NEA.

The course will cover the basics to the very latest techniques of data collection and presentation. Covering essentials such as trip ratios, risk assessments and sampling. The course will also introduce you to modern data collecting apps, and user friendly GIS packages such as ArcGIS. A summary of secondary data sources such as the Index of Multiple Deprivation and Datashine are also covered. Time will also be spent ensuring you have confidence demonstrating a wide range of fieldwork techniques.

An investigation into the success and impacts of an extensive and expensive coastal management plan to protect Southwold.

Southwold is the quintessential British seaside town, but the demographics here are threatened by the influx of holiday and second home owners, with 49% of the town now not permanently occupied. Students can measure the impact by completing land use and service surveys, holiday-home mapping, perception surveys, non-participant observations and assess the mood of locals through questionnaires.

A comparison of 2 neighbouring but starkly different beaches – students will be facilitated into the collection of beach profiles, sediment analysis, flood-risk mapping and bi-polar analysis. Supported with secondary data from the Environment Agency.
