# Field Methods

## ERTH-2210

Principles and methods of field work in Geological and Environmental Sciences, including geologic mapping of formations across spatial scales, basic orienteering, glacial geology, modern lake characterization, climate reconstruction using tree and sediment cores, drainage basin analysis, well-logging and water-well sampling, and basic pedology. Students are trained in the use of instruments to address selected field problems. Numerous all-day field trips every Wednesday throughout the semester (occasionally on weekends) required. Course culminates with an independent research project. This is a communication-intensive course.
