Colleagues, Please pass this on to any undergrads that may be interested.
Many aspects of environmental science are best learned in the field. Come join us for an intense, unique 5 week undergrad learning experience combining geology, geomorphology, hydrology, ecology and remote sensing. We cross the country starting in Pennsylvania and spend more than 3 weeks exploring the northern Rockies in Wyoming and Idaho. The course is designed for mid to upper level students with a background in any one of disciplines. Strong focus on group problem-solving and collaborative research. Thanks! Patrick Belmont ([email protected]) Monday June 1, to Friday July 3, 2009 $3100, EVERYTHING INCLUDED - tuition, fees, food, travel DO NOT DELAY, CAMP IS NEARLY FULL See webpage for more information: http://www.lehigh.edu/~fjp3/fieldcamp/index.html EES 395 Environmental Science Field Camp (6 credits) We are offering this camp at the junior-senior level as a capstone experience. The curriculum will revolve around basic geology, hydrology, ecology, soils, geomorphology, limnology, and impacts of western landuse and resource management. We will incorporate electronic mapping, GPS, and GIS technology into projects wherever practical. This is a CAMPING field camp. We never stay in a hotel and we prepare and cook all of our food fresh in a group kitchen. This is also a PHYSICALLY CHALLENGING camp. We do a lot of hiking during the mapping projects. The venue provides excellent and numerous recreational opportunities including fishing, local rodeos, and wilderness backpacking. Evenings and days off include visits to towns such as Wall Drug, SD, Jackson and Pinedale, WY, and Mackay, ID.
