Unit 2 Geographical Investigation GCE AQA Secondary Data

Possible secondary data sources include:

  1. previous research by Dubai College students to compare results over time
  2. internet research (google Scholar) for arid channel studies especially in North America, for example, click here.  It's a bit advanced for AS, but you get the idea.
  3. internet research comparing normal rivers in the UK in terms of channel characteristics and sediment changes
  4. Google maps and satellite images for pre-fieldwork assessments including risk assessment. Also, to help with analysis of data, for example relating data to a confluence
  5. make the point that this is a very under researched area especially in the United Arab Emirates and that you were trying to apply hydrological theory to the channels that you were studying
