Coastal Geomorphology: details of stops
Posted in Down Under, Science and tagged with coast, fieldtrip, geomorphology on 02/15/2009 02:37 am by MikaThis is a gallery of photos from the Coastal Geomorphology field trip. The sites are numbered in accordance with the trip map in chronological order (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday). Clicking each thumbnail will bring up a new page with a medium-sized image, clicking that will bring you to a full-sized image.
Status: incomplete; panoramic images will be added in a few days. Also, the gallery is being a bit wonky about refusing to update edits — F3 is actually F4, and I have no idea why that one F stop is refusing to go to the end of the week.
