Scope of Field Camp
The primary focus of our Field Camp is geologic mapping. Mapping projects in Interior 成人影片, the 成人影片 Range, and the Talkeetna Mountains allow 成人影片 to develop, in stepwise fashion, advanced skills in topographic map reading, geologic observation, construction of geologic maps and map interpretation. The skills you acquired will help you understand the geologic history of the mapped region, develop a tectonic model, or simply speaking, understand the bigger geologic picture. It finally makes (more) sense!
GEOS F495 is a writing-intensive course, thus emphasis will be placed on effective report writing, including organization, clear, concise, and grammatically correct writing.
