Geography students get real-life experience at CQU
Published on 17 October, 2003
Senior geography students from Biloela and Moura State high schools got their hands dirty on a recent field trip to Central Queensland University’s Gladstone campus this week.
The geography students spent a morning with CQU’s Centre for Environmental Management staff to learn more about real-life applications of geography.
CEM Laboratory Manager, Kirsty Small said the students participated in a number of mangrove sampling techniques used by the CEM staff.
“The students completed a number of activities including the collection of leaf litter samples, mangrove fauna collection and identification as well as learning the scientific techniques used for monitoring mangroves which are used by researchers here at CQU,” said Mrs Small.
