Schedule: GEOL 4714/5714
- Field Geophysics Fall 2023
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.
Football has games 9/9, 9/16, 9/30, 10/13, 11/4
We usually have some down days due to weather or equipment problems
Several later entries are just forwarded from 2022
and will be adjusted as the term proceeds.
