2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: "Jordan, Brennan T" <Brennan.Jordan@xxxxxxx> ---Please Announce to Students--- We are pleased to announce the twelfth annual Iceland Volcanology Field Camp, offered by the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SD Mines) through the Black Hills Natural Sciences Field Station. The course is designed to serve undergraduate geology majors and graduate students based on the â??field campâ?? model. Prof. Brennan Jordan is returning to the lead instructor role. 4 credits, dates June 28 - July 18, 2024, Fee: $5,695 ($6,395 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 and activities. Subjects that will be considered include: basaltic and rhyolitic lava flows, tephra characterization, ignimbrites, phreatomagmatic features, subglacial volcanism, volcanic hazards, 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. If an eruption is ongoing at the time of the course, and access is safe and legal, the course will visit the eruption site, as it did in 2021 and 2023.
