Description

Students will get hands-on experience in planning, acquiring, processing, and interpreting geophysical surveys on cinder cones and other volcanic features, faults, and alluvial fans around the Lost River Valley near Mackay, Idaho. Participants work in small groups on magnetic, refraction seismic, ground penetrating radar, and resistivity surveys. We also record and discuss broadband seismic and RTK-GPS data, cover gravity data collection, and introduce recent earthquakes and active tectonics of the field area.
