The geology field course is a three-week long summer Individual Advanced Development program. It is taught in the Rocky Mountain region of the Western United States. Geologic concepts are presented in a classroom setting and supplemented with laboratory exercises. The majority of the course, however, is conducted at geologic sites in the field where concepts are illustrated and expanded. The course provides the cadet with knowledge of and appreciation for the science of geology as well as practical experience in geological mapping using remote sensing and GIS. Field trips to active mines and a Superfund site relate classroom learning to the real world.
