The fieldwork programme is carefully designed to develop field skills progressively over the first two years, enabling you to complete an independent field-based project at the start of Year 3. Year 3 and year 4 field classes then train you to further develop and apply those field skills to understand and predict geology in 3D for a range of possible applications, from exploring natural resources to understanding and predicting hazards present on an active volcano.
The Earth Sciences field class programme includes the following field classes:
