Field geology is a 10 quarter-hour six week course (16 June to 27
July)
attended by students from the University of Oregon and other
universities.
The course emphasizes the gathering of geologic data in order to
produce
high-quality geologic maps, geologic structure sections, and detailed
stratigraphic
columns. Each project emphasizes problem solving in geology. The
training and background acquired by students in this course is
essential
for careers in geology, mining, petroleum, and environmental and
engineering
sciences.
