U-M 2014 UP Geology Field Trip: Welcome!

23 August 2014

Welcome!

It's early on a nice summer day here in Ann Arbor, and we are about to get the field trip underway! We've got all our gear stowed and are reviewing some trip logistics before we begin the trek north.

Our final destination today for is the McClain State Park Campground, nearly the farthest will be from Ann Arbor on this trip, so we'll get getting a lot of the driving done today. Hopefully will have time for several geology stops along the way too.

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.
