A breezy but dry day on the beach at Tentsmuir today for our Higher Geography field trip. We collected lots of data on the abiotic factors that affect the vegetation for our assignments and were rewarded with some delicious crepes from the Salt & Pine afterwards! @harrisacdundee

What a beautiful day it was at Tentsmuir today! The Higher Geography class were investigating vegetation succession along a transect for their assignments. Once they had collected all their data their hard work was rewarded with some well deserved crepes from the Salt & Pine!

Mapping changes in temperature: every year from 1850 to 2023

2023 was the warmest year on record.

This 'small multiples' representation of observed changes in temperature show how the planet is heating rapidly almost everywhere.
