Welcome to your MSc, we hope that you have a great Induction week.
I am delighted to inform you that students taking Environmental Dynamics (GEGM07) have two exciting fieldtrips at the start of term. Please add the dates to your diary:
Wednesday 7 October 2026 (all day): Fieldtrip to a major international carbon sequestration project, the Carbon Community, at the Glyndwr Forest in Carmarthenshire. The aim of the fieldwork is to gain hands-on experience at this pioneering project. Lunch and transport will be provided.
