Geology Field Methods teaches basic field observation, identification, and mapping skills for students in geology, geography, and environmental programs. On-campus sessions will accompany the scheduled field study. We visit superb exposures of many varieties of rocks, as well as outstanding examples of geologic structures. We examine a variety of natural resources and study the environmental impacts of their use. After a study of the regional stratigraphy, a mapping project focuses on rock deformation and teaches field mapping techniques. Most of the class time will be in the field. This course may be offered as 1, 2, or 4 hours, depending on the field location and timing. A fee applies.
