Field Geology - Yellowstone

Geysers, volcanos, and fossils, oh my! Yellowstone National Park has it all and our staff are ecstatic to teach you all about it! Returning staff Carson Cope, Claire Wolfe, and Alese Thompson are back together and would like to invite you to join them on this two-week adventure! Students will learn about the intricate geologic processes involved in creating beautiful features like the infamous Old Faithful Geyser and lesser-known spots like Black Sands Basin and Grand Prismatic Springs. Beyond learning how geologic processes form the features of Yellowstone, students will be able to learn how these same processes impact the local environment and biology. Students will be able to hike throughout the National Parks, work alongside professional geoscientists, and speak to National Park employees. Students will learn proper field skills, interpersonal communications, and, of course, the geology of Yellowstone.
