Field Camp Overview

The USF Geology Department is offering a summer field school during summer term C for undergraduate students. The course is organized in four parts (see links at right). Students who want to participate in the summer field program, but who have not successfully completed Solid Earth 2 (GLY3402) are strongly encouraged to enroll in this one week segment. The three main field camp segments will last two weeks each. These include: Hydrogeology, Coastal Processes, Geophysics, and Geologic Mapping (2 credits each). Overall, the course is designed to introduce methods in field geology and geological research across a range of disciplines. Each session involves doing geology outside in a research environment with the faculty who specialize in the area. This course provides an exciting opportunity to learn crucial skills needed by every geologist. While everyone is encouraged to do all three parts, we have built in the flexibility to allow students to register for one, two, or three sessions. It is important to realize that these courses will be very time consuming. It will not be possible to be registered for other summer term A courses if you are registering for one of these. See the following for the details!

Note: USF Geology majors are guaranteed a spot on this course if you sign-up before Feburary 1. After that date sessions will fill on a first come, first serve basis. As enrollment is limited, do not delay! To enroll, follow the steps given in the following.
