New Mexico Tech offers a six-week summer geology field camp that is open to New Mexico Tech students and qualified applicants from other universities. In summer 2024 the field course will be conducted in Wyoming and northern Utah, exploring some of the most spectacular scenery the west has to offer, including Teton National Park (pictured above).

Topics covered will include: principles of geologic mapping and reconstruction of geologic history from field relationships; interpretation of rock associations in terms of tectonic settings; the measurement, description and interpretation of textures, structures, and stratigraphic successions; structural analysis of complexly deformed rocks; neotectonics; and seismic hazard assessment. We will also be including a componennt of Indigenous Ways of Knowing in collaboration with colleagues from Salish Kootenai College.

Our Field Camp will take place in Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, Flaming Gorge, and Vernal, Utah - join us!
