Here's a panoramic view of our study site invstigating the Thaw Valley near Cowbridge.

This also gives competitors in this weekend's Burn Series adventure race a bird's eye view of much of the run/bike/kayak course. Good luck everyone!

Peter Brabham joined us today—for the second day of fieldwork with Cowbridge School’s A-level Geology students, as part of our STEM Partnership supported by The Royal Society.

Pete first introduced TerraDat co-founders Nick Russill and Rob McDonald to geophysics over 35 years ago as students of Cardiff University, so it was a reunion in the field—this time helping inspire the next generation.

We explored the Thaw Valley using geophysical techniques to investigate its origins as a classic misfit stream in a disproportionately large valley. Today’s focus was on acquiring subsurface data to help map the depth to bedrock and gather evidence supporting the glacial outwash theory.

A fantastic, albeit wet, day of fieldwork with Cowbridge School's A-level Geology students! We were investigating the intriguing palaeo-landscape of the River Thaw, a classic example of a 'misfit' stream in a disproportionately large valley.

Our investigation continues next week as we conduct geophysical transects. This will allow us to map the depth to bedrock and gather crucial evidence for the glacial outwash theory behind the valley's dramatic formation.

Thanks to The Royal Society support via their STEM Partnership Programme.
