Geology Field School Directory
The purpose of this page is to help students find a geology field course. We link to department websites that have up-to-date information about their field courses (date, location, activities and contact). We visit each link in this list annually. If we do not find current field course information we assume that the field course is no longer offered and delete that department from this listing. The course will be added back to this list if a faculty member contacts us to let us know that their website contains the information needed by prospective students. This is free advertising for departments who present current information about their courses. If you have a new field course please send us the URL.

A Field Camp Opportunity?
Every year lots of students and faculty write to us asking if there are any field courses that can be completed in December and January. Other than the
course at Massey University
in New Zealand (which is very popular) we don't know of a regularly-offered geology field course at that time of year. A December/January course in the southwest USA might
attract a nice number of students? If you offer one let us know. We will advertise it here. |
