Schedule: GEOL 4714/5714
- Field Geophysics Fall 2022
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, especially later in the term. Schedule after the 25th iffy. More up to date info will be in Canvas.
We usually have some down days due to weather or equipment problems
