The Department of Earth and Environment is committed to providing students with as many field experiences as possible. Field trips are an integral part of most courses taught in the Geoscience/Environmental programs. In addition, students participate in independent research involving travel to places ranging from the Canadian Arctic to New Zealand, and from Australia to Mongolia.
As part of our commitment to field work, the department of Earth and Environment regularly organizes a subsidized field trip to a location of particular interest to environmental and geology students. Majors and minors in Geoscience, Environmental Science, and Environmental Studies all have the opportunity to participate.
