University of Missouri: Geology Field Camp
May 26 - Jul 6, 2024 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, seismic reflection and refraction, and subsurface basin analysis. This course includes a field trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks.

GeoSPACE Planetary + Volcanology Field Course
May 26 - Jun 9, 2024 GeoSPACE is an accessible and inclusive planetary geoscience field course and mentoring program. Designed by and for people with disabilities, the course is open to anyone looking for a more inclusive and accessible field course, whether you identify as disabled or not. GeoSPACE uses a unique approach with an in-person and virtual cohort, working together in real time. This course provides opportunities to gain experience with digital data collection, photogrammetry, remote sensing, GPS surveying, project management and collaboration in the sedimentary and volcanic landscapes of northern Arizona.

Iowa State Geology Field Camp
May 28 - Jul 2, 2024 The Iowa State University Geology Field Camp provides students with extensive experience in geologic mapping and performing field analyses related to structure, stratigraphy, sedimentology, metamorphic processes and energy resources. Study areas include the Bighorn Basin, Wind River Range, and excursions to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.During this course, students will gain experience in:- Geologic mapping of strata and structure using topographic, orthoimage, and/or 3D printed base maps;- Detailed logging and interpretation of sedimentary strata exposed in outcrop;- Interpretation and correlation of wireline logs to outcrop data;- Risk assessment of energy resources (hydrocarbons and geothermal) and underground carbon storage;- Identification and interpretation of igneous/metamorphic rocks in outcrop;- Critical observations and evaluation of geologic data;- Managing of uncertainty/error in field settings; and- Project management and time management skills.

Summer Polar Science Opportunity with the Juneau Icefield Research Program
Jun 8 - Aug 15, 2024 The Juneau Icefield Research Program (JIRP) is an 8-week summer field course for students interested in undergraduate-level Polar sciences. Participants receive a wide range of training in Earth & climate sciences, alpine travel and safety skills, and science communication while traversing the Juneau Icefield from Southeast Alaska to northern British Columbia.

Indiana University Field Geology in the Rocky Mountains
Jun 10 - Jul 23, 2024 EAS X429 is our capstone course designed to prepare students to be successful in a geoscience career and/or geoscience graduate school program. This course focuses on the integration of geology, geochemistry and geophysics to solve 4-dimensional geoscience problems. X429 includes both a 1-week thesis style project and a deep-dive into a subdiscipline concentration of your choosing (see subdiscipline descriptions online). The course is taught at the Judson Mead Geologic Field Station, located in the beautiful Tobacco Root Mountains in Cardwell, Montana.

GEOS 414: University of Arizona Geology Field Camp
Jun 10 - Jul 14, 2024 This 5-week geology capstone field course is focused broadly on the evolution of the western North American Cordillera as an integrated tectonic system from Precambrian through Quaternary time. Students learn the geology of the Cordillera through a series of mapping-based exercises as they traverse across landscapes in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. Through study of a large variety of rocks in diverse geological settings, students deepen their understanding of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and tectonic processes. The field course involves camping the entire time in beautiful wilderness settings; meals are prepared by a camp cook.

GEOL 491: Field Paleontology
Jun 29 - Jul 13, 2024 This course is designed to provide extensive field-based opportunities for students to interpret the paleoecological conditions present in the Bighorn Basin region during the Mesozoic Eras of geologic time. Students will spend their days searching for, collecting, excavating, and documenting fossils, fossil localities, and geological evidence for the paleoenvironmental conditions that existed in this region many millions of years ago. Most field collecting and instruction will focus on the Jurassic Morrison Formation, with potential additional opportunities to work in the latest Cretaceous Lance Formation. Students also will learn about the larger-scale regional geology, stratigraphy, and paleogeography. Throughout the course, you will work alongside paleontologists and graduate students with various backgrounds and fields of expertise. Informal evening classroom sessions will provide interactive instruction and hands-on activities.

University of South Florida: 2 week Field Geophysics
Jul 8-19 2024 This 2 week-long course is a hands-on introduction to four commonly used geophysical methods. We collect, process, and analyze ground penetrating radar (GPR), resistivity, magnetic, and seismic refraction data. We are based near Mackay, Idaho, and our targets include a major fault, volcanic dikes, and cinder cones at Craters of the Moon.

Indiana University Virtual Geosciences Field Camp - Northern Rocky Mountains
Jul 22 - Aug 9, 2024 The virtual, online version of Field Geology Fundamentals in Montana and Wyoming is designed to teach students field geology skills, thought processes and workflows without requiring them to actually go into the field. It is recommended for students who cannot or should not take a face-to-face course in the field for safety, health or life circumstances reasons.
