Field trips are a critical and integral component of geoscience education. They provide students with unequaled opportunities for exploring and understanding geological principles first-hand, outside of the classroom, at real-world scales.

Such trips, however, are expensive endeavors. While students themselves bear a portion of the costs, we rely on grants and donations to cover the majority of the trip's costs. This helps to ensure an affordable experience open to all students.

Our Florida field trip is being funded by a generous anonymous donor, Shell, Chevron/Texaco, and various individual contributors to the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences' Field Excursion Endowment Fund.
