Sometimes the best classroom settings aren’t classrooms at all. Fieldwork is an essential part of the Albion College Earth and Environment experience. You’ll travel to diverse locations around the U.S. and meet people who are working in research, environmental protection and sustainability causes.

Field opportunities include our annual Regional Geology Field trips, the biennial five-week field camp in northwestern Wyoming, field labs, and research opportunities. Recent faculty and student field research has taken us to Antarctica, Svalbard, western China, Wyoming, California, and South Dakota.
