******************************
If you are a student or know of a student that is considering taking a
Geology Field Camp this summer, the Eastern Illinois University Geology
Field Camp still has space available. Our camp is based in the Black
Hills of South Dakota and features traditional mapping techniques
supplemented by GPS and laser range finder technologies. Besides
mapping sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks in the Black Hills,
the camp takes an 11 day geological journey across Wyoming. There we
visit classic sites such as Devils Tower, the Sheep Mountain anticline,
Heart Mountain allocthon, Yellowstone National Park, Gran Tetons
National Park, the Gros Ventre slide, Fremont Lake, and the Leucite
Hills. In Yellowstone, all students assist faculty from EIU and Wilkes
University collecting high precision GPS data and hot spring T and pH
data as part of an ongoing geodetic/geothermal research project
monitoring the Yellowstone caldera. This 6-week, 6 credit hour course
runs from May 27 - July 7, 2007 and costs $2900. For more information,
please contact Craig Chesner (cachesner@xxxxxxx, 217/581-6323) or visit
http://www.eiu.edu/~geoscience/fieldcamp.html for an itinerary and
application. The application deadline will be extended to April 15.
