    Description
    This course will introduce students to field methods in Geoscience, including Geology and Geography. Students will apply the scientific methods to their field queries, learn how to design and implement field-based research, and standard protocols such as obtaining required permitting to access field sites. They will also be introduced to commonly used field instruments, practice using these instruments to gather data in a field setting, and communicate results and data interpretation in conventional scientific formats. Field trip attendance is required. GEOL 94 is the same course as GEOG 94. Students may earn credit for one, but not both.
