Fieldschool 2006
In April of 2006 we ran a week long fieldschool for our second year students. The fieldschool focused on teaching the basic skills necessary to produce a geological map and took place in the Thunder Bay area. Later in the year we ran a second two week fieldschool for students entering their final year. Those photos can be viewed towards the bottom of the page.
