Learning Outcomes:

Students will be able to relate relevant experiences of field geology with academic knowledge from lab and classroom settings to justify and facilitate the collection and management of accurate geologic data.
Students will be able to appraise and justify connections across geologic disciplines, data types, and perspectives so that they can evaluate and defend appropriate data required to solve a range of geologic problems.
Students will be able to devise and develop skills, abilities, theories, or methodologies gained in one field location to a new location.
Students will be able to complete a field analysis designing and using verbal and visual representations of data and interpretations, such as stratigraphic columns, facies diagrams, and geologic maps, in ways that enhance meaning.
Students will be able to demonstrate a mature sense of self as a geologist and build on prior experience to respond to new and challenging contexts.
