2018 Iceland Volcanology Field Camp
4 semester credits, undergraduate or graduate
+1 credit with optional Greenland Trip  

We are pleased to announce the seventh 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 17 - August 10, 2018, Fee: $4,995 ($5,495 for graduate credit)
-Fee includes tuition, transportation in Iceland, lodging, and most meals. Transportation to/from Iceland not included.
-Enrollment limited to 18 students

5 credits with optional Greenland Trip, tentative dates July 8 – August 10, 2018, Fee: $7,865 ($8,365 for graduate credit)
-Fee includes tuition, transportation in Iceland and Greenland, flights between Iceland and Greenland, lodging, and most meals.  Transportation to/from Iceland not included.
-Enrollment for Greenland trip limited to 8 students

This project-driven course in geologic 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 undertake two major mapping projects and a number of shorter physical volcanology-oriented projects.  Subjects that will be considered include: basaltic and rhyolitic lava flows, tephra characterization, ignimbrites, 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.

Optional Greenland trip adds a mapping project in Archean and Proterozoic metamorphic and plutonic rocks by the Sermilik Fjord in scenically spectacular East Greenland.
