Description:

An advanced field study course that provides real-world examples of major topics in the earth sciences. The course includes both a classroom component throughout the semester and a field component of about 2-3 weeks. The field component is usually held shortly after the spring examination period (generally late April to early May). The field component is an excursion to a variety of field sites that change yearly. Prior to student registration, the faculty member, in consultation with the students, will determine the field course location, and determine the mandatory supplementary course fees for that offering. Some offerings of EASC 406 may require overseas travel and possibly a significant change in the timing and cost of the field component. Students should be aware that they must also cover the costs of food and personal items while on the field course.
