Internships
Field experiences
We believe that the best way to learn the practice of geology is in the field. For this reason, we offer field trip opportunities for students with a range of geological skills and backgrounds. Many of these trips are open to non-majors. Click on the links below to see photos of some of our field lab experiences and other field trips!
