Sweeting had gained extensive knowledge on various topographies and landscapes by travelling around the world to places such as Greece, Australia, Czechoslovakia, United States, Canada, South Africa, Belize, and most notably China.

[6] Alongside her passion for fieldwork, conferencing and teaching, Sweeting enjoyed travelling, the opera, and watching entertainment such as sports.

[5] In 1951, Marjorie Sweeting was appointed as a lecturer and director of studies in Geography at St. Hugh's College, and in 1983 she was named the acting head of the school.

Additionally, Sweeting worked with Gordon Warwick in support of the International Speleological Union where she was in charge of the Karst Denudation.

[12] Much of Sweeting's early work was focused on the shape of karst landforms, the geological control, and landscape denudation rates.

It is the deliberate observation of the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic layers in Earth’s crust that reveal the history of the planet, which can then be correlated to construct an adequate story.

The concept explains and observes a topographic state which has come in contact with an abundant water source such as rain, tsunami, flood, river flow and more.

their tributaries, bring down enormous volumes of water and have been able to cut deep canyons into the karstic terrain.” She had such great interests in this phenomenon and thus moved to China so she could advance her research in her later days.

[15] Sweeting published more than seventy books and papers throughout her career, specialising in limestone and karst landscapes in which her travels took her to many sites around the world.

These sites include: England, Ireland, Yugoslavia, Jamaica, Svalbard, Tasmania, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, China, Borneo, Malaysia, South Africa, Tibet.

Many of her weekends and vacation weeks were filled with organized field trips for undergraduates, introducing them to caves and the pleasures of karstic landscapes.

[9] Throughout her career at Oxford, she supervised over thirty graduate students, many of whom went on to make valuable contributions to the field of Geology, specifically in karst.

[18] Like other women in the field of science at the time, academic and career advancement was not as rapid as it was for her male colleagues, and Sweeting exemplifies this as she was never promoted to professor despite her highly distinguished achievements and education.

Unable to continue her studies during World War II, Sweeting went to Denbigh, North Wales as a geography teacher at Howell's School.

[25] At the end of the war, she was one of two women, along with Mabel Tomlinson, on the British national committee to advocate for the teaching of geology in high school.

[5] Marjorie was acknowledged not only as an international expert on karst geomorphology, but also as a generous and enthusiastic mentor for generations of undergraduate and graduate students.

[27] For much of her career, Marjorie was one of only a small group of female physical geographers in Britain who fought hard and successfully to establish their international scientific reputation.

[28] Her father, George Scotland Sweeting, heavily fueled and directed Marjorie’s passion for geology as he himself was an ardent geologist.

He lectured at the Imperial College in London, and as stated in Marjorie’s obituary, those close to her revealed she was determined to carry on her father’s legacy.

For this reason, she deliberately studied and invested extensive time in geology and wished to be remembered as an earth scientist; a title she indefinitely earned as is evident from her accomplishments.
