Saying farewell to our fantastic 6.2 Geographers with a picnic and a fun quiz.@GeogDeptCC

We are very proud of Barney (6.1) for winning Cambridge University's Compass Magazine geographical essay writing competition this term. His powerful exhortation for a global drive towards restoring forests sounds like a blueprint for a better future. Well done!!

Our AS Geographers have been exploring the intricacies of the carbon cycle in Borrowdale, a craggy valley in the beautiful Lake District. Snow-capped peaks and some sunny skies were a welcome backdrop. @GeogDeptCC @ConcordCollege #biogeography #fieldresearch

Mr Jones' marvellous river model in action as the Form 4 geographers learn about fluvial processes, river channels and flooding. #concordcollege #innovativeteaching

Congratulations to our Form 3 and Form 4 Geography quiz team who won the Shropshire Edition of the World Wise Quiz last at Moreton Hall school last night. It was a lot of fun with some great questions. Here they are with the shield (and a proud teacher)!

Another great day of Geography in action. Practical skills came in to good use investigating socio-economic contrasts and changing commerical landscapes in our local town of Shrewsbury. #ConcordCollege #Shrewsbury #fieldwork

Snapshots of our final morning in SW USA. We have enjoyed such a wide variety of landscapes and environments through our trip. Here we soaked up the iconic cityscapes of Coit Tower, Lombard Street, street cars and the Golden Gate Bridge. Great memories made.@ConcordCollege

Our last evening of what was an amazing trip of discovery. We learnt about downtown San Francisco and the city's history of tectonic turmoil. Here at Pier 39, a tourist redevelopment across from Alcatraz. #ConcordCollege

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

Our day in Silicon Valley to learn about why so many of the world's IT giants originate from one place. Intel, Apple HQ and finding our college on a mega-sized Google map interface are shown here. #ConcordCollege #academicexcellence

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

From the agricultural landscape of Central Valley to the dizzying granite faces of Yosemite. What a place!!

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

Fantastic day in Death Valley today. Highlights included Zabriskie Point and finding the sand dune filming location used for the original Star Wars. @ConcordCollege @DeathValleyNPS

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

Marvelling at the enormity of the grandest of canyons. We slowly walked along South Rim catching sight of the Colorado River 1 mile below. #ConcordCollege

Final fun highlights from our Form 5 Snowdonia fieldwork. Recapping coastal geomorphology through actions (and more wading through streams)! #ConcordCollege

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

What impacts do tourists have on a honey-pot site? That was our investigation on the last day of Form 5 fieldwork in Snowdonia National Park. Then farewell to beautiful Betws-y-Coed! #ConcordCollege #academicexcellence

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

Highlights from Day 2 of the Form 5 Geography trip to Snowdonia. Here we studied the caves and coastal scenery at the awesome Black Rock Sands. #ConcordCollege #AwesomePlanet #Geography

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

A grey day on Mignite Moor Snowdonia. Our hardy Form 5 Geographers learned how to investigate river processes near the source of the River Conwy. They were brilliant; getting into 1st,2nd and 3rd order streams. #Geography #ConcordCollege #AcademicExcellence

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

Well done to our amazing Geography students last year. And thanks to our 6.1s for this creative board decoration that greeted our department teachers as we returned to the classrooms! #geography #GeogDeptCC #ConcordCollege #academicexcellence

More microclimate studies with Form 4 fieldwork. Whirling hygrometers, anemometers and thermometers. Would we observe local-scale atmospheric differences...? #GeogDeptCC #ConcordCollege #AcademicExcellence

[Concord Geography @GeogDeptCC]

Here is one example of our Form 4's annotated photographs from our microclimate study (using the annotable app) in Ludlow. Our investigation showed that it was cooler and more humid by the river than in the town centre. #GeogDeptCC #ConcordCollege
