Advanced Field School

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course is a field-based learning experience focused on applying field and mapping methods to create geological maps and reconstruct geological histories from collected and interpreted data. Students will practice independent mapping, utilizing skills developed in earlier years. The primary goal is to reconstruct the geological history of a studied area by integrating field data with published peer-reviewed literature. This exercise fully integrates theoretical knowledge of Earth processes acquired during the first three years of the program. CALENDAR NOTES: Daily independent field work 12 to 14 continuous days along the coast of the Northumberland straight in Antigonish County (Nova Scotia). PREREQUISITES: ERTH 2110.03, ERTH2002, ERTH2203, ERTH3002, ERTH3140 RESTRICTIONS: Course mandatory for Earth Sciences Majors and Honors, opened to other students with prerequisites.
