Rivers fieldwork

Using the Bradshaw model

The Bradshaw model is often referred to in geography fieldwork at both GCSE and A-level. You are likely to have to evaluate your rivers fieldwork in your exams, but do you really understand this model, its origins and how to use it?

Models are often used in geographical enquiry (Table 1 gives some examples). When analysing your fieldwork results you should be able to comment on the relevance of models you have used, as well as their suitability and reliability. There may even be an opportunity to challenge the usefulness of a particular model in the environment you investigated.

This Practical Geography takes a deeper look at the well-known Bradshaw model (Box 1) used to describe changes in rivers.
