Sedimentary my dear Watson - The Case of the Studley Silt, June 2011

Received permission from the Environment Agency to conduct my research in the River Skell catchment, meaning that six months of planning finally came to fruition to allow me to actually start collecting data!

Just finished collecting ten samples for preliminary experiments to ensure that there would be satisfactory results from my chosen methods of data collection and analysis. Even from this small number of samples, it is evident that there are distinct differences in the land use around the Skell catchment as well as differences in the soil types.
