GA Conference Derby 2013 Coastal Change: The Future 1. Label features in the landscape Bar of shingle
Tourist honeypot of Torcross Coastal Change: The Future 1. Label features in the landscape 2. Make a note of how these features could be affected by climate change Bar of shingle With rising sea levels, inundation from
the sea is likely, significantly impacting on the National Nature reserve behind and destroying the road. Tourist honeypot of Torcross Possible improved summers, and falling accessibility of flights increase tourism to the area.
Coastal Change: The Future Tourist honeypot of Torcross Possible improved summers, and decreased viability of flying (cost, env impact etc) increase tourism to the area.
1. Label features in the landscape 2. Make a note of how these features could be affected by climate change NB: This could easily be done on a tablet/Ipad using an app like Skitch Bar of shingle With rising sea levels, inundation from the sea is likely, significantly impacting on the National Nature reserve behind
and destroying the road. Likely to become the main road access into Torcross in the future Areas which is likely to experience regular flooding and become brackish

The future cannot be predicted, but preferred futures can and should be envisioned, invented, implemented, continuously evaluated, revised, and re-envisioned. Thus, another major task of futures studies is to facilitate individuals and groups in formulating, implementing, and re-envisioning their preferred futures.
( Dator 2005) Probable Past Now Possible
Preferable Based on an original idea from Dave Hicks mapping the future with timelines www.teaching4abetterworld.co.uk Fieldwork What are the possibilities for service provision in the town in the future?
50/100 years ago Fieldwork Pre-fieldwork From the historical images, what is the service provision like in this
town today? 50/100 years in the future Crickhowell, Powys, Wales (NP8 1BD ) Survey of shops and services - interview shop owners/workers about their customers
Possible Preferable/Probable service provision in 20/50 years? KS3 values, KS4 roles (local elderly, local youth, local councillor...), A level themes (shops, services, transport) Historic market town on the River Usk, rapidly growing since 1960s Population 2065,
average age 45 (most people 45-65) Relatively affluent population of retirees, with more moving in Tourist hub for Brecon Beacons Well connected on A40 but no railway station
Houses mostly detached and semidetached, owner occupied Mostly professional people, little unemployment Hydrological Change 1. Label features on the map or photo which
affect the hydrological response of the river 2. What do you think is likely to happen to that feature in the future (if anything)? 3. (a) How might this change the likely storm hydrograph for the catchment? 3. (b) What further fieldwork could you do to help answer this question? 4. Therefore what actions/management should be put in place to better manage this catchment?
Woodlands likely to be cut down more regularly as demand for wood increase The Fieldwork and Outdoor Learning SIG are looking to recruit new members. We are particularly interested in practitioners with experience in creating and leading
fieldwork in either primary or secondary schools. [email protected]
