This is a unique opportunity to study key aspects of physical and human geography at AS/A level in preparation for the forthcoming exams. Dr Richard Yarwood will examine some of the issues associated with population growth and the use of resources. Using a multi-sensory presentation, he will consider the challenges and opportunities in a world that now has over 7 billion inhabitants.
Dr Nick Middleton is known to many of us as one of the 'faces' of Geography on television, having presented a number of programmes, perhaps most notably looking at the world's extreme environments. He will consider some of the issues associated with arid environments including climate, geomorphology and human uses/abuses of desert regions and their margins.
Dr Peter Stiff is a highly experienced teacher and Principal Examiner for OCR. He will run an interactive session aimed to help students with some of the technical issues associated with achieving success at AS/A2 level.
