“Sometimes landmarks are used to identify these experimental plots, but these landmarks might not appear on a map—or might be marked as different features on different maps,” says Elizabeth Rudolph @UFSweb.

What a great session!
Thanks to Prof Werner Nel, Principal Investigator of the NRF-SANAP funded project; Landscape and Climate Interactions - @SANAP_LCI

This was informative and inspirational!
Thanks for organising @apecssa.

A successful takeover for the @SANAP_LCI “Geos” on #marionisland. Many highlights but the most exciting part of our research was getting a 4.5m core from Maccie Bay. It could provide a wealth of information on landscape evolution since deglaciation #geomorphology
