This 5-week, 6-credit intensive field course is offered each summer to Geosciences students from the University of Arizona and other universities. Students study a broad range of rock types in various tectonic and geomorphological settings in order to learn the geological and tectonic history of the western North America. The course serves juniors, seniors, and graduate students who need to complete a 6-unit Field Experience for degree requirements.
2025 Geology Field Camp Instructors: Dr. Peter Decelles and Dr. Barbara Carrapa
"The people were what made the experience; the professors, students and the memories we made I will remember for a lifetime. Fieldcamp definitely prepared me physcially and academically for whatever path I take. I learned about 3 courses worth of geology in 5 weeks. This was truly an experience unlike any other."
