2016 Iceland Volcanology Field Camp
4 semester credits, undergraduate or graduate
We are pleased to announce the fourth annual Iceland Volcanology Field Camp, offered by the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology through the Black Hills Natural Sciences Field Station. Registration is first-come first-served, so interested students are encouraged to register early.
4 credits, tentative dates July 21 - August 14, 2016, Fee: $4,995
-Fee includes tuition, transportation in Iceland, lodging, and most meals. Transportation to/from Iceland not included.
-Enrollment limited to 18 students
This project-driven course in mapping and volcanology will explore Iceland from the south coast where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes ashore to the highlands near the focus of the Iceland mantle plume. Students do several major mapping projects. Subjects that will be considered include: basaltic and rhyolitic lava flows, tephra characterization, phreatomagmatic features, subglacial volcanism, volcano monitoring, and geothermal power. Projects will be conducted on active volcanic systems, in Late Pleistocene and Holocene volcanic fields, and in the older Miocene volcanic stratigraphy exposed in glacial valleys and fjords of Iceland. The new 4-credit version may also include some non-volcanic projects (the pilot 4th week in 2015 included a glacial geomorphology project).
