In the field, we will be running simultaneously seismic, resistivity, GPR, magnetic and gravity surveys, as well as surveying the experiment locations with GPS. This will necessitate dividing the class into field crews for each day's work. Field crews will be assigned in advance (the previous evening). Every student will need to rotate through all the experiments (including surveying) during the days in the field. There will be a limited number of slots per experiment for each day, so that there will be sufficient personnel for the more labor intensive field work. The field crews will also attempt to mix students so that they all have a chance to work with each other and with each of the instructors.

The data we acquire will be communal and will be analyzed by the entire class. You are expected to keep clear notes for each experiment you participate in so that students not present for that particular experiment can understand and have all relevant and required information for interpretation.

You will be individually responsible for submitting a written report, of which the interpretation part and discussion of the scientific problem must be your own work. We expect the individual portion of your report will be ~6 pages in length. You will be required to write a draft version of the geologic overview of the area and the scientific problems being addressed before going to the field. The introduction for this report is due May 26. It will be graded and returned before we go into the field. The paper on the scientific objectives is due June 2. The Ge111b final report is due by 5 p.m., Wed. June 23, 2003. NO LATE REPORTS WILL BE ACCEPTED!

We will return from the field by Saturday evening, June 19. Monday-Wednesday (June 21-23) will be in-house analysis days in the computer lab. Mark, Joann, Rob, Javier and Alisa will keep regular office hours those three days and will be available for consultation.

You will submit your report, whatever state it is in, by 5 p.m. PDT, Wednesday, June 23, 2003. The grade for the class will be available on Friday, June 25. (Not yet confirmed for 2004 class).
