The Wasatch-Uinta Field Camp still has several open spots for summer 2019.  If any of your students are looking for field camp, please encourage them to check it out at fieldcamp.org.  Application directions can be found here (http://fieldcamp.org/content/enrollment-fees).

The Wasatch-Uinta Field Camp is a six-week capstone course designed to prepare students for successful careers in the geosciences. We emphasize scientific methodology and traditional techniques that provide a strong foundation for the broad range of modern technologies used by today’s industry, academic, government and private workforces.

Please join us on Wednesday, October 10 at 4:30 PM for a Social Hour for students and professionals co-hosted the American Institute of Professional Geologists Minnesota Section (AIPG MN Section) and the Minnesota Chapter of the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG MN Chapter)!

This summer, UM is offering several courses at our field station near Jackson, WY, including a traditional geology field camp, an environmental and ecosystem science field camp, and an upper-level course on energy and fossil fuels. We also offer introductory level courses in geology and environmental science. Students with questions should feel free to contact me, Nathan Niemi (naniemi@umich.edu), or our summer field program manager, Chris Malvica (cmalvica@umich.edu).

We are looking for photos featuring your research, internships, field camps, or anywhere else with geoscientists in action. Photos can be entered into three different categories (Outdoor Lab, Indoor Lab, and Data Visualization) and AGI staff will select a winner from each category to receive a prize. Submissions are open to US and international applicants from all geoscience disciplines.
