ERS425H5 • Geology of North America

This course will provide students with a first-hand field exposure to geologic outcrops in North America, where knowledge gained during classroom instruction throughout their studies can be applied to textbook examples of a variety of real-world geologic features. The course is structured around one major field trip during one of the Summer terms, where student-led work on rock outcrops is performed (including presentations while in the field) and the preparation of field reports after the trip. There is a nonrefundable course fee associated with this course beyond tuition, which covers accomodation and travel. Students must register on ROSI, on a first-come first-serve and non-refundable deposit basis. The deposit must be received by the Department within one week from the first day of enrollment or the student will be dropped automatically from the course. Information about the course will be released during the Winter term on the CPS Field Trip webpage.
