The AQA A2 Specification states that students must:
"study a small-scale coastline, using OS maps and other historical evidence if available to analyse changes over time"
"study a small-scale coastline, using OS maps and other historical evidence if available to analyse changes over time"
Don't forget that this case study will also help you to learn about features of erosion and deposition as well coastal problems and coastal management (in other words, lots of the other sections of the Specification!)
In addition to the paper resources that I will give to you, make sure that you make use of the following electronic resources:
An outstanding site is provided by Hull University and can be found at http://www.herb.hull.ac.uk/erosion/html/geography.html
This is suggested by "Kay" whose AS/A2 website is top notch for coasts (and lots of other topics)
- click onto http://www.geography.btinternet.co.uk/index.htm
A jolly little intro to Holderness is provided at
Detailed rates of erosion (and lots of other info) are provided by http://www.nerc.ac.uk/lois/coastl.shtm
Useful links, photos and a whole lot more can be found at http://www.geographypages.co.uk/holderness.htm
