Unit 2 Posters 

For unit 2 of this course, it is a paper about the fieldwork you carried out so it is best to ask a teacher about this – although I have put my notes up as an example.

There are four sections in the paper and you have to choose two, one human and one physical. Our school taught us about “Extreme Weather and “Rebranding” so I only have notes for these topics, which are below:

Unit 2 Case Studies:

Extreme Weather:

  1. Tewksbury Floods –  Flooding Tewkesbury
  2. Management of Floods – Management of Flooding Case Studies
  3. Mozambique Floods – The Mozambique Floods
  4. Bewdley  – Bewdley case study

I also used some of the natural hazard case studies (unit 1)

Rebranding:

  1. Rural Rebranding Strategies –  Rural Rebranding Strategies
  2. Rebranding Seaside Resorts – Rebranding Seaside Resorts

      Hi!
      Sorry I did try to upload them as PDFs but the blog only lets you have a certain amount of space. So I had to choose between all my notes up or some with better quality. (They are much much easier to see on a tablet where you can zoom in) I may be able to email you some of the ones you want if that’s helpful, but super busy Atm so will do it when I get a chance. Just let me know which ones you’d like 🙂
