Schedule: GEOL 4714/5714 - Field Geophysics Fall 2020

Field days are shown in red (all day long)
Labs are in blue (will go well into the afternoon)
Lectures are in black and should only be an hour
Reading in Burger bold, in supplementary Milsom in italics

Labs and fieldwork are still very fluid. If campus looks like it might shift to all-virtual learning, field days will be moved up

We usually have some down days due to weather or equipment problems
