What: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rutgers University-Newark, Dickinson College, and Towson University are hosting a 2-week long near-surface geophysics field camp Oregon Ridge Park in Maryland for first- or second-year undergraduate students interested in the geosciences.<\/p>\n

What is geophysics?<\/b>
Geophysics is the study of the physical structure of the earth using integrated geology, math, and physics to understand how the Earth works. Geophysicists combine laboratory and field experiments with computational and theoretical modeling to understand Earth processes. The field camp will focus on near-surface geophysics which is used in noninvasive investigations of environmental and engineering problems.
\u00a0
What will I do at the field camp?<\/b>
Participants will work with graduate student mentors and experts in geophysics to use geophysical methods to study, probe, and learn more about dynamic processes in the Earth\u2019s critical zone. Participants will learn about careers in the geosciences and improve their science communication and computing skills.
\u00a0
Prior experience?<\/b>
Students are not expected to have any prior geophysics knowledge before the field camp but must show an interest in the geosciences and be willing to participate in outdoor fieldwork. \u00a0Other student requirements are:
\u00b7 Be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States
\u00b7 Be enrolled as a freshman or sophomore at a 4-year collegiate institution or be enrolled at a 2-year collegiate institution.\u00a0
\u00b7 Be available to attend the field camp between from June 10th – June 23rd, 2024.
Preference will be given to undergraduate students who have not\u00a0yet declared a major and have an\u00a0interest in the geosciences.<\/p>\n
