IGS and Geology Department Team Up to Teach Geology in the Field

---

Volcanoes of the Eastern Sierra Nevada: Geology and Natural Heritage of the Long Valley Caldera, a class jointly taught by Michael Hamburger of the Indiana University Department of Geological Sciences and John Rupp of the Indiana Geological Survey, had another successful year conveying principles of science to beginning students at IU. This inquiry-based field course affords students in a wide variety of disciplines a view of how science is conducted. A series of seminar classes held during the Spring semester are followed by two weeks in the area of Mammoth Lakes California where students learn the joys and value of first-hand observation, interpretation, and synthesis of geological concepts.
