Chapter 3 - Data Presentation
(graphs, photos, charts)
You are going to need to present your data to enable you to effectively answer both of your research questions.
Although you are going to complete some of these graphs and charts separately, they are going to be embedded as part of Chapter 4 so that you have your presentation and interpretation all together.
First part of RQ - How have geomorphic processes altered the coastline in Sitges?
For this question you will need to complete:
1. A geology map of Sitges (complete your own sketch version). This should show that there are bands of both hard rock and soft rock around Sitges.
2. Your field sketch of the hard rock features beyond the nightclub. A neat annotated and coloured in copy is fine.
3. Your erosion and wave attack information sheet
4. Beach width and longshore drift data to show that erosion is happening and that LSD is also occuring*.
Beach width - Beach profile on graph paper
LSD - located bar chart.
**For higher level analysis, you might want to see how the situation has evolved since 2015. Here is the data that the class collected 7 years ago. Have erosion levels increased since then?
Second part of RQ - ...... how successfully have people tried to manage these processes?
For this question you will need to present:
5. Annotated photos of the rock islets, sea wall and stone groynes.
6 . Bi Polar Analysis of the three defences that you analysed in Sitges (sea wall, groynes & rock islets).
7. An annotated satellite map to show why the more complicated sea defences have been used on beach 6, 7 & 8.
Check this house for sale advert out from September 2022. Here is the actual location of that house. Turn around to face the sea. What do you see?
