From the Field: UNT students make it to Dartmoor, England, on their journey through the British Isles

Twelve UNT students accompanied by Dr. Harry Williams embarked on yet another British Isles field trip just a few days ago. On July 10th, the crew made it to Dartmoor, England (home of the Hound of the Baskervilles), where they learned about stream morphology and then hiked to a nearby tor (rocky hilltop).

But, wait, this field journey has only just begun. Together with former faculty member, Dr. Don Lyons, the group will spend a total of three weeks visiting five sites - Plymouth (England), Cork (Ireland), Galway (Ireland), Bangor (Wales) and Edinburgh (Scotland). At each site, the group will learn various field techniques in both human and physical geography, get a sense for local culture, and simply have fun. Even better, many of the students will get credit as part of this adventure.
