Description

Lehigh University hosts a comprehensive, intellectually and physically challenging program that uses The Northern Rockies, Bighorn Basin, Tetons, Yellowstone, Montana and Idaho as our natural laboratory. One of our new additions in the last few years is the collection of topographic basemaps using drone imagery. Our camp meets or exceeds educational standards as reported by AGI and meets the requirements of many state professional geologist licensure accreditation, including those for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We are looking forward to a great summer in 2023! Hope you can join us!

Other Important Information

Applications considered until camp fills. Consult website for status. We incorporate drone topographic basemap collection into the course.

We run a traveling field camp, but camping experience is not required. The course starts with a few basic exercises, but quickly accelerates so you learn as much as possible in the complex and challenging places we visit. For this reason, we like seeing the following pre-requisite courses, or alternate experiences:

(1) Introduction to Earth and Environmental Sciences, such as Physical Geology, Ecology, or Terrestrial Ecosystems
(2) Earth Materials or Mineralogy or Petrology or Crystallography
(3) Sedimentology-Stratigraphy or Geomorphology or Surface Processes or Historical Geology or Introduction to Field Mapping
(4) Structural Geology or Engineering Mechanics or Introduction to Field Mapping, or several lab experiences making field observations.

However, each school is different, and some of this material is embedded in other courses. If you do not meet one or more of these prerequisites, please include a short statement in your application that explains how you have the background knowledge needed to complete the course. Junior or Senior standing is typical, though not required. We generally find that most students come very well prepared to camp.

If you have questions about the prerequisites or the topics we cover, please contact the field camp director.
