There are several openings for students to participate in the ninth
annual (excepting
2020) Iceland Volcanology Field Camp, offered by the South Dakota School of
Mines & Technology through the Black Hills Natural Sciences Field Station.

4 credits, dates July 14 - August 7, 2021, Fee: $5,395 ($5,895 for graduate
credit)
-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 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.  We plan to visit the
ongoing Geldinadalir/Fagradalsfjall eruption site.



5 credit option, +500$, adds major synthesis report putting geology
observed in course into wider literature research context.
