About this Guide
A Bit of Weather
There may be a bit of wind and rain in the background of this week’s videos, autumn has started stormy this year. This is the perfect backdrop for our biosphere guide with its emphasis on climate. Thank-you for a terrific start to the term, it has been amazingly smooth and that is in large part to people’s motivation and enthusiasm. This guide adds the final component before field work, assembling a field kit that links planning with data collection.
