I have gone through the old spec papers and collated the questions that relate to our new spec. You can get them here

I was informed the exam may actually specify human or physical fieldwork. My notes are only on human, so here is the procedure for physical. Aim To discover how effective the coastal management has been at reducing the impacts of coastal processes. Background reading Articles on the history of the defences Research the aims of the management program Research the processes currently occurring in Swanage Bay Direction of longshore drift Procedure Measure the height of the beach on the north and south side of the groyne every metre from the cliff to the shoreline.

Following on from my previous revision guide for field work. Analysing the IPSOS MORI data To analyse, we undertook the chi squared test of significance Measure the relationship between age and satisfaction with life We used the degrees of freedom, and decided to accept the alternate hypothesis and reject the null hypothesis What is Chi Squared? You will not be asked to explain chi-squared. It is a statistical test like Spearman's rank (which you DO need to know!)

I have filled in the gaps on the Rio and London case studies which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/0B47PFIELgMiJRFhNZ3dMajllMk0/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=117991663462316712100&resourcekey=0-8ElsQTmTI9yBl7GeTqDOlQ&rtpof=true&sd=true Coastal systems (Swanage and Bangladesh) are here Changing places (Twickenham and Corfe) are here These are the core studies, but I will also publish other references and ideas you could name drop in a 20 marker.

I have summarised all the useful information into a table so you can compare the 2 case studies. Where there was no place specific stuff on the Google Docs, I left it blank so you can write it in yourself. Editable version is is found here PDF version is here
