---Please Announce to Students---


Several slots remain available in the 2018 Iceland Volcanology Field Camp
4 or 5 semester credits, undergraduate or graduate

This is 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 now on a rolling basis until the course is full, so interested students are encouraged to register quickly.

4 credits, dates July 18 - August 11, 2018, Fee: $4,995 ($5,495 for graduate credit)
5 credits, dates July 11 - August 11, 2018, Fee: $6,245 ($6,745 for graduate credit)
-Fee includes tuition, transportation in Iceland, lodging, and most meals. Transportation to/from Iceland not included.
-Total enrollment limited to 18 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.  The 5-credit version of the course will visit additional areas and add topical diversity, potentially including intrusive bodies and/or glacial geomorphology.
