Cambridge Schuchert 1972

Despite a late snow melt, unusually high meltwater conditions and some days lost to poor weather, this expedition, based in Schuchert Dal, succeeded in carrying out its planned scientific research. This involved three major projects which examined the changes in rock weathering and the properties of soil and fines related to surface age and glacial history; the correlation of factors affecting the morphology of valley side fans and the colonisation of vascular plants on the Roslin moraines. 

The expedition crossed over and shared some resources with the Cambridge Staunings Expedition.
