Camps for College-age Students

Geology Field Camp

Experience in geologic mapping is the main goal of the course. We combine instruction in traditional field methods with modern electronic mapping techniques. Traditional mapping on topographic and aerial photo bases at a variety of scales is central to our instruction. Supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, we are also able to introduce important emerging electronic technologies, giving hands-on experience with GPS, laser range finders, and supporting software. We illustrate the applicability of these tools to a variety of geological problems. Students also gain experience in measuring stratigraphic sections, drawing geologic cross sections, deciphering geologic structures and writing geologic reports.

Enrollment is limited to 24 students. Approximately 20 of these students will be from schools other than Albion.

Camp Dates:

June 12 - July 18, 2008
