Field Schools
Key dates for our main field schools are shown here for the current year and next year. These field schools are run as part of our core papers (courses). You can find more details on the web page for each paper.
Many of the optional papers in Geology at 200- and 300-level involve field work at weekends. Details will be posted on the web page for each paper. Also, a pdf file with details will usually be available here well before each paper starts. If you have a clash between field requirements for different papers, please discuss matters with us as soon as possible.
Field trips are usually compulsory. Normally, students may be exempted field trips only on the grounds of illness (as documented by a medical certificate), or a death in the immediate family, or representing New Zealand in a cultural, sporting, educational or scientific event.
If you can’t find what you need, please contact the Academic Administrator, Adrien Dever.
