1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 From: Meredith Townsend <townsendmr@xxxxxxxxx> Hi all, I would like to draw your attention to a 2-week, 4-credit field course called "Fire and Ice" run by Meredith Townsend and Leif Karlstrom at the University of Oregon. This course will take place from July 7 - 20th in the Oregon Cascades and Wallowa Mountains (northeastern Oregon) and covers topics in volcanology and glacial geology. In particular, students will learn about drone mapping, characterization of glaciovolcanic products, glacial geomorphology, and the plumbing system for the Columbia River Basalt Flows. See this link for details <https://earthsciences.uoregon.edu/2020-field-studies-section-2>. This course is part of a longer, 6-week field camp run by The University of Oregon, Department of Earth Sciences (*see description below* for more details). Please contact me or Leif if you have any questions! -Meredith Townsend (she/her) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The University of Oregon, Department of Earth Sciences is accepting applications for a summer geoscience field camp (6 weeks total, divided into 3 sections each worth 4 credits). The course will take place throughout Central Oregon, the Oregon Cascades, and Southwest Montana, and themes include Tectonics, Paleontology, Volcanology, Glacial Geomorphology, Stratigraphy, and Structural Geology. The first two sections involve camping on private land, the third section is based out of the University of Montana dormitories, and all three sections involve in-the-field instruction. The camp is open to students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, but course prerequisites may apply (see link for details <https://earthsciences.uoregon.edu/undergraduates/field-camp>). There is a $700 course fee per section -- students may choose to attend specific sections, or they may join for the entire 6 weeks. Attached here is a flyer for the camp, and more details with application instructions can be found in the following link: https://earthsciences.uoregon.edu/undergraduates/field-camp *The deadline to apply is April 2nd (extended from March 19th). * Please reach out if you have any questions! We are working to make our field camp as safe, inclusive, and accessible as possible; we are committed to a gender balance of instructors in each section and exceed state and federal safety protocols for COVID. Instructors: Ray Weldon, Sammy Castonguay, Dave Blackwell, Meredith Townsend, Leif Karlstrom, and Marli Miller 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 ------------------------------
