[Geoldept] FW: VOLCANO: 2017 Iceland Volcanology Field Camp

[Pete Stelling]

Hi everyone,

Here’s an amazing (if expensive) opportunity to attend a volcanology field school in Iceland.  It counts for college credit (but it won’t replace field camp).  Everyone I’ve talked to that has gone on this has given rave reviews.

2017 Iceland Volcanology Field Camp
4 semester credits, undergraduate or graduate


We are pleased to announce the sixth annual Iceland Volcanology Field Camp, offered by the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology through the Black Hills Natural Sciences Field Station.  Registration is first-come first-served, so interested students are encouraged to register early.

4 credits, tentative dates July 18 - August 11, 2017, Fee: $4,995 ($5,495 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 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.
