Schedule: GEOL 4714/5714
- Field Geophysics Fall 2024
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 very fluid, especially later in the term. This schedule is overfull; what will be cut depends on equipment and weather
Football has games 8/29, 9/21, 10/12, 10/26, 11/16, 11/29
We usually have some down days due to weather or equipment problems
