"Isle of Wight Geographical Greatness"

Meandering at Shepherds Chine.
The awesome shingle beach!
Wow!
The chalk coast at the next headland.



The coastal erosion of the cliff is rapidly eroding! The one metre a year erosion has rapidly increased in the past few years resulting in an unstable coastline which recently caused injury to a person. Another aspect prominently saw at the coast were landslips. Attempting to climb up one was pretty hard! No coastal management strategies are being put forward as the land above is of no use, and it is to expensive to apply. However... how long are they going to let this erosion continue for?

"Home sweet home.."

Back home from Geo and Marine Science summer school. It was pretty awesome! Investigated the geology of the Isle of Wight coast line, done some oceanography under grad fieldwork at sea and had an awesome time! :)
