Field Camp 1979
Students In 1979 the Geological Sciences degree was changed to Geosciences, and options became the general option, biogeology, and geophysics. The general option and biogeology required Geosc 470, Introduction to Field Geology, during the academic year and summer Geosc 472, Field Geology. A pre-camp cross-country excursion was available as GSc 471. Most of these names are from the database of 1980 Geosciences alumni that, hopefully, is a proxy for 1979 field camp, although some may have attended a year earlier. Some of these alumni, in addition, may have been geophysics option, so would not have attended field camp. Thanks to Martin Farley for additional names.

Martin Farley remembers "We visited the Stockdale kimberlite outside Manhattan, Kansas, when night was falling, as the photo you've posted shows.... The field camp exercises were all in the Salt Lake area. I specifically recall that the Parleys Canyon exercise required crossing I-80. Having been through Salt Lake City fairly regularly in the last 15 years, I can say that you couldn't cross I-80 on foot now as we did then (leaving aside whether it was prudent to do so even then). I also remember, not fondly, the moraine climb."
Dave McCarren: "Many memories of those trips. I took the field trip in '79 and graduated in '79. Mike Reading did also. We were both in ROTC and those summer requirements prevented us from taking the trip in the junior summer. I don't get much of an opportunity to talk about Geology anymore, although I do have a couple friends in the Geology Department here at the University of Delaware that I occasionally get to interact with. After 20 years in the Navy, with 13 as a Naval Oceanographer, my time is mostly spent making sure our biotech researchers can get their projects moving."
