EarthCaches

Earthcache The most exciting way to learn about the Earth and its processes is to get into the outdoors and experience it first-hand. Visiting an Earthcache is a great outdoor activity the whole family can enjoy. An Earthcache is a special place that people can visit to learn about a unique geoscience feature or aspect of our Earth. Earthcaches include a set of educational notes and the details about where to find the location (latitude and longitude). Visitors to Earthcaches can see how our planet has been shaped by geological processes, how we manage the resources and how scientists gather evidence to learn about the Earth.

Set by me

Aldermaston Oxbow Lake - Curved lake found on the flood plain of a river. Oxbows are caused by the loops of meanders that are cut off at times of flood and the river subsequently adopts a shorter course.
Goring "Gap" - Glacial passage - The Thames hasn’t always followed the path it does today. The view of the Thames as seen from this viewpoint is relatively new (geologically speaking).
Ait in the making? - Islands in the Thames are formed in a number of ways. It all depends on the energy in the river and what the ground is made of.
Lewknor view of the Chiltern Hills - The adjacent geographical areas of the chalky hills of the Chilterns and the clay plains occupying much of the rest of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire to the north-west offer a contrast in geology, soils and landscape.
Lewknor cutting - opportunity to see into the very landscape which we normally walk over following the engineering of a cut exposing layers of the earth.
