ERS 499 - Summer Field Camp

Participants must attend an approved five- or six-week geological field camp run by an American university. To be approved, the camp must emphasize techniques of field geology, which typify the work of professionals within the discipline. It must also provide a synthesis of core components of the Department’s undergraduate curriculum. Within three months of returning to the University of Maine from field camp, a written report and 30-minute oral presentation are required by each participant describing how the activities engaged in at the field camp promoted this synthesis.
