Description

Students will get introductory instruction in the skills needed to construct geologic maps through field observations and data collection. Field areas for the projects in this course are located in central Idaho and include the recent Borah Peak earthquake fault scarp, glacial moraines and fluvial geomorphic features, deformed early Paleozoic passive margin and Antler Orogeny foreland basin deposits, and Eocene Challis Volcanics. Each project includes 1-3 days of mapping and a whole or part of a day finalizing the map and constructing cross sections of your field areas.
