Field Trips and Field Courses
Students investigate terrain in Italy
The department typically sponsors about twelve trips each year that range in length from one day to five weeks. Destinations of trips have included areas as far afield as Newfoundland; the Canadian Rockies; Baja, California; the Caribbean; Iceland; and Italy.
The longer trips are designed as undergraduate field courses (GEOS 29001, 29002, 29003, 29004, 29005), and the shorter trips are mostly scheduled in connection with undergraduate and graduate lecture courses. All students and faculty are welcome to participate, space permitting.
