Welcome to Summer Field Geology. This is a preliminary syllabus and is aimed at setting a time line and communications link. This course is offered during the Spring 2002 quarter, so we will meet at least once or twice a month to discuss the reading assignments and logistics of travel to the summer field areas. The bulk of the course will meet during the summer session in the Eastern Sierra Nevada, July 8 � August 2.

Assignments: There will be several reading assignments where individuals will answer questions through course web site. Throughout the quarter, I will also assign web assignments pertinent to our field area, California, and general field geology. The bulk of the assignments will occur during the ES188 B session.
