Coasts Geog' Clips
Waves attacking a salt marsh boundary
Geog' Clip: Wave-cut gullies incising the leading edge of a back-barrier marsh.
Relentless waves
Geog' Clip: Simple use of an iPhone 7 timelapse to get a better sense of how relentlessly the sea attacks the coastline
Storm of the century
Geog' Clip: Rare footage of hydraulic action at work. 6-8 m storm waves tearing cliffs apart during the UK winter storms of 2014
Blowhole and marine erosion at cliff-foot S of Tintagel Head, Cornwall - Hydraulic action
Geog' Clip: Waves crashing at the foot of cliffs south of Tintagel Head, Cornwall. An active blowhole is visible at the cliff-foot.
Timelapse of Atlantic swell waves
Geog' Clip: Atlantic swell waves breaking at Men-a-vaur, Tresco, Isles of Scilly, Cornwall, UK. Still carrying energy three days after Storm Brian.
Seagull restaurant not quite open yet - wave refraction
Geog' Clip: Ebb tide waves refracting around a small area of shingle deposit near Whitstable Harbour, Kent
Llantwit Major, S Glamorgan, S Wales - Wave-cut platform
Geog' Clip: A view of the remarkable wave-cut platform between Col-huw Point and Pigeon Point near Llantwit Major, South Glamorgan, South Wales
Surf at Mother Ivey's Bay, Cornwall x5
Geog' Clip: Wave fronts approaching Mother Ivey's Bay, Cornwall. Mesmerising Atlantic breakers reaching the coast of Cornwall x5.
Rivers Geog' Clips
Waterfalls: From Drone to Data
Geog' Clip: A quick overview of how we can use drones to get useful information about the landscape
Eroding mountains into sand
Geog' Clip: Sediment sourced in the Himalaya is carried downstream by rivers - but what happens to it when it leaves the mountains?
Huge curving meanders
Geog' Clip: Wide river meanders moving at 4 m per year, on the River Towy in South West Wales
Walking behind Sgwd yr Eira waterfall
Geog' Clip: Walk behind Sgwd yr Eira, a spectacular waterfall on the Afon Hepste in the Brecon Beacons NP, South Wales. Identify features and processes.
How the landscape forgets a landslide
Geog' Clip: The UK 2014 storms triggered lots of landslides. Simulation of how this hillside will recover over the next 8000 years, through weathering and soil creep.
Glaciation Geog' Clips
Large Calving Event at Helheim Glacier, Greenland
Geog' Clip: While working in Helheim Fjord, Greenland, two researchers heard an unbelievable sound. This is what unfolded.
Eyjafjallajokull and the impact of Icelandic eruptions
Geog' Clip: Causes, characteristics and impacts of the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajokull that caused widespread transport disruption throughout Europe.
Simulated glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) from Laguna Glaciar, La Paz Department, Bolivia
Geog' Clip: A computer simulation, which predicts the likely path of an outburst flood, were the glacial lake to burst
A glaciated landscape
Geog' Clip: Filmed from Tryfan, a breath-taking glacial arête, the U-shaped Ogwen valley, these cwms & pyramid peaks last saw glaciers just 11K years ago
Striations, chattermarks and the erosional impact of glaciers
Geog' Clip: Highlights the small-scale features characteristic of glacial erosion that can be seen in both past and present glacial environments.
Landscape evidence of recent glacier recession
Geog' Clip: Dr Richard Waller looks at landscape evidence used to reconstruct the extent and rate of glacier recession during historical times.
Glacial lake outburst flood risk, Bolivia
Geog' Clip: This glacial lake in Bolivia could burst, posing a flood risk to downstream communities
Glaciers, volcanic activity and braided river systems in Iceland
Geog' Clip: Clip encouraging students to 'think like a geographer' by considering the interaction of three key areas of physical geography: rivers, glaciation and volcanics.
