Geography Dissertation Ideas

[lvlylou91]

Hi,

I'm going into my third and final year and so I need to choose my dissertation topic. I am completely stuck on what to choose... :-( I have a passion for the coastal aspect of things - I wondered if anyone could help me with topic ideas on what to do involving coasts?

Such as the topics of long shore drift and sand dunes I am also interested in  conservation (to do with zoo's) and was wondering if anyone could assist me on what I could do involving these? Your help would be hugely appreciated :-) x Thank you

....Do you not have an adviser?

This is really something that should be catered to your interests and talked about in conjunction with your advisor.

"Coastal aspect of things" is HUGELY broad; it could encompass anything from a field/lab sampling study, ecology/biology, human geography/coastal populations, sea level rise, physical oceanic processes, etc. Also area of study is wide open (e.g. east coast, west coast, rocky shore or wetland, abroad...single site or multiple sites?). I agree, you need in-house guidance on this, tailored to your interests, the expertise of your advisor and committee members, and with appropriate background/courses particularly if RS processing or labwork is required, in order to produce something truly novel.
