ERS 310 - Fields Methods in Earth Sciences

A majority of Earth, environmental, and climate sciences disciplines rely on robust field data collection skills.  ERS 310 introduces students to the essential elements of field data collection, documentation and interpretation.  The course aims to expand and reinforce practical field data skills that students acquire in introductory level classes and prepare them for advanced education and research in geosphere related disciplines using traditional and modern methods, instrumentation and techniques.  Off-campus day trips will explore diverse coastal, glacial, sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic geological settings.  Students will work in teams to collect and interpret information, share and discuss their findings, and produce a final comprehensive field report.  There is a fee associated with this course for travel expenses.
