(formerly GEOL 3101)
Credit(s): 3
Other Hours Schedule Type Field Work

14-day field school

A two-week field course dealing with observation, interpretation, and solution of geological problems in the field. Emphasis is placed on the application of geological field techniques to complete a detailed bedrock geology map by measurement of igneous, metamorphic, and/or sedimentary rocks and interpretation of stratigraphic & structural features. Instruction focuses on the relationship between rock formation and tectonic setting by examining the concepts of bedrock geology compilation and regional synthesis. This course is offered during a special session preceding the Fall Semester; participants must complete a bedrock geological map and report during the Fall Semester. 

Prerequisite(s): GEOL 3111  and GEOL 3300 , both with a grade of C- or higher, and consent of the department.
