Clemson Hydrogeology Field Camp
May 13 - Jun 19, 2026 Build practical skills in hydrogeology field work. Topics include spatial mapping, well drilling, core description, water quality and sampling, well testing, soil properties, air and water flow through the vadose zone, and stream flow. Field camp is taught in Clemson, South Carolina, with field trips to different hydrogeologic settings in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Stephen F Austin State University: Field Camp
May 13 - Jun 14, 2026 This field camp will cover a range of geologic settings, primarily within west Texas and New Mexico. The topics will include identifying rocks based on their textures/structures/mineralogy in order to define units and understand the geologic setting, mapping and interpreting geologic structures (e.g. faults and folds), and creating stratigraphic columns and correlations. This course also contains a component of digital mapping, using tablets provided by SFASU.
Credit Hours: 5-6
University of Missouri Geology Field Camp
May 31 - Jul 12, 2026 The University of Missouri Geology Field Camp is a six-week, six-credit field course based out of the Branson Field Laboratory in the Wind River Range, western Wyoming. Our two-part curriculum focuses on the development of practical skills and career-readiness, beginning with foundational skills and field methods, such as measuring stratigraphic sections, analysis of sedimentary facies and environments, working with topographic maps, and geologic mapping. In the final two weeks of the course, students practice experimental design, data collection, and analysis in advanced field methods, including groundwater and surface hydrogeology, shallow geophysics (seismic reflection, refraction, and electrical resistivity), and subsurface basin analysis. This course includes a field trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks.
Credit Hours: 5-6
