Let geological fieldwork count as essential travel during COVID-19 pandemic.
Allow university Earth Science Departments to continue to run geological fieldwork and mapping projects during the COVID-19 pandemic within Europe.
Typically these projects take place with small groups in remote locations where public contact is minimal.
Incompletion of in-person fieldwork and mapping projects is damaging the continued professional development of all earth science students in the UK.
Continued prevention of in-person fieldwork components of the course risks loss of accreditation from professional bodies.
Geological fieldwork is an essential aspect of all Earth Science & Engineering courses and uncertainty regarding the degree and future prospects has induced unwelcomed strain on the mental health of many students.
