Wondering how to use your @derbyuni.bsky.social Earth Science Field Card given to you in induction week? Here I am in the department rock store using it to determine the grain size and grain shape of these 2 very different loose sediments. ⚒️🧪

“Derby equipped me with a degree that emphasizes practical knowledge, integrating extensive field excursions and hands-on geoscientific skills directly applicable in the mining and exploration sectors. The degree's focus on real-world skills, rather than being narrowly centred on academic niche topics, has been invaluable to my career. ”
