Description

The ISU Field Camp is hosted at the Lost River Field Station in central Idaho. Each year six or more of our field-oriented faculty participate as instructors to expose students to a broad array of geologic disciplines and geologic diversity. Emphasis is placed on developing an individual's ability to observe, record, and interpret field relationships, utilize GIS, create hand drawn and digital geologic maps, and complete reports. Our students become confident, broadly-trained field geologists prepared either to pursue careers in the Earth Sciences or dive into research projects in graduate school. We accept students from universities outside of ISU that are looking to complete the field camp requirement for and undergraduate B.S. in geology.
