Field Camp Overview
Geological mapping and structure
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.
