GEOE 301 Field Studies in Geology Units: 1.50
A multi-day field trip that uses stratigraphic, sedimentological, and paleontological data to interpret rock successions in a paleoenvironmental and tectonic context. Enrolment is limited. NOTE: The course runs during the week of Canadian Thanksgiving. Students are responsible for the cost of transportation, accommodation and food during the trip. Please see the Departmental web page for more information

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Describe sedimentary rocks using the appropriate classification schemes and terminology.
- Identify fossils and use them to interpret limiting factors in the depositional environment.
- Interpret depositional environments using stratigraphic, sedimentologic, and paleontologic evidence that you observed.
- Apply graphic logging techniques to document stratigraphic successions and utilize those logs to reconstruct the evolution of depositional environments through time.
- Through writing, describing, sketching, naming, illustrating, and more, transfer real-world outcrop data into a field book in a manner that allows it to be clearly and effectively revisited and understood later.
- Synthesize these real-world observations into a holistic understanding of the tectonic and sedimentary evolution of eastern North America during the Ordovician and Devonian.
