Professor V Prescott.
25 points of first year Geography.
First semester
Three 1-hour lectures and a 2-hour practical each week.
After completing this subject, the student should:
understand how maps are made, their uses and limitations;
know how to add information to maps by means of field surveys and air photo interpretation;
be aware of the problems of representing the three-dimensional curved surface of the earth (or any part of it) two-dimensionally as a map on a flat piece of paper, and of the errors and adjustments in so doing;
understand the ways in which topography is surveyed in the field.
Introduction to surveying, cartography and photogrammetry. Map projections, history of cartography, techniques of mapmaking. Field survey techniques for establishing cross-sectional elevations associated with topographic features.
1.5 hour examination (60 per cent), one essay to 2,500 words (20 per cent), practical exercises (20 per cent).
