This year’s UCL Geography field class photography winners

This year’s winners of the photography competition for 1^st, 2nd and 3^rd-year student field classes were announced before Christmas.

First-year students again went to Sitges and Barcelona to develop a variety of fieldwork skills, from river monitoring to the urban “rebranding” of Barcelona.

The Second-year physical geography group went to north-eastern Mallorca to carry out projects on wetland hydrology & ecology and coastline geomorphology. 

Meanwhile, a Third-year group visited Vienna in September to study how everyday life in the city is organised. 

Prizes for photographs were awarded to winners from each trip, with several excellent runners-up.
