Hydrogeology Field Camp - Clemson University
May 17 - Jun 22, 2023 The Clemson Hydrogeology Field Camp is a capstone experience for undergraduate degrees in Geology and graduate students in Hydrogeology or Engineering. The camp is designed to give the student a working knowledge of the methods and concepts of field hydrogeology, and to provide the opportunity to use those methods in several hydrogeologic settings. Topics include spatial mapping, well drilling, water quality and sampling, well testing, soil properties, air flow through the vadose zone, hydraulic fracturing, and near surface geophysical methods.

GEOS 414 Geology Field Camp
May 18 - Jun 21, 2023 This five-week, 6-credit, capstone field course welcomes applications from students at other universities. Students study a broad range of rock types in various structural and geomorphological settings in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. To cover this amount of ground, the course involves camping (all in beautiful settings); meals are prepared by a camp cook. The various exercises are designed to provide students with an understanding of the western North American Cordillera as an integrated tectonic system.

New Mexico Tech Geology Field Camp
May 19 - Jul 2, 2023 The New Mexico Tech Geology Field Camp offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the exceptional geologic setting of northern and central New Mexico! In 2023 we will take students on a journey that begins in the Precambrian, travels through the Laramide Orogeny and Rio Grande Rift, up to the modern record of active faulting - a geotour of North American history in only six weeks! Our field camp will travel from Socorro to Valles Caldera and Taos - some of the most scenic regions of New Mexico - while covering topics in sedimentology, structural geology, Quaternary mapping, and metamorphic geology.

PASSHE Geology Field Experience
May 21 - Jun 23, 2023 The Geology Field Experience allows students to apply their knowledge and skills to the investigation of Pennsylvania's unique and varied geology throughout the state with field-based modules taught in the Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, Allegheny Plateau and other physiographic regions. Students will develop fundamental skills such as lithologic and stratigraphic section mapping, surficial, landform, and bedrock mapping, and geophysical and environmental techniques, and more. This low-cost, 5-week, immersive, field-based course is collaboratively taught by faculty from three universities and students will stay in the residence halls at each campus (in 2023 this includes West Chester, Shippensburg, and Slippery Rock Universities) where they will have access to on and off-campus resources. This project is, in part, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, to create a multi-faceted, sustainable geoscience learning ecosystem designed to foster statewide collaboration among faculty, government and industry partners, and other entities to meet the needs of our diverse local communities.
