U-M 2014 UP Geology Field Trip: Delaware Mine

Our first trip underground, a visit to the Delware Mine Historic Site. Mined for copper from the mid-19th to mid-20th century.

Field trips are a critical and integral component of geoscience education. They provide students with unequaled opportunities for exploring and understanding geological principles first-hand, outside of the classroom, at real-world scales.

Such trips, however, are expensive endeavors. While students themselves bear a portion of the costs, we rely on grants and donations to cover the majority of the trip's costs. This helps to ensure an affordable experience open to all students.

This year's field trip is supported by a generous contribution from an anonymous donor.
