What's on offer?
The More than Maps project aims to inspire secondary school children of the power and importance of our changing environment. We welcome you to join us in the state-of-the-art geospatial computer lab to use satellite imagery to study how water moves through our landscapes.

A team of researchers from the School of Geography and Environmental Science will be on hand to support the workshop!

Welcome to the world of remote sensing, where satellites orbiting Earth capture breathtaking images which can be used to understand our planet's changing environments. Explore different remote sensing technologies with Daniela Rivera Marin for an hour and examine the Somerset Levels 2014 floods using satellite data. Later, join Amelia Andrews for another hour as a Glaciologist, as you learn how to identify glaciers from space, measure their unique features, and map their transformation over time to understand their response to a changing climate. This practical will give you the tools to explore floods, and assess how glaciers are evolving, and why all of it matters!
