Field Camp 1982
Students In 1982 options for the Geosciences degree were 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. Tim Demko says that the pre-camp cross-country excursion, GSc 471, was not available, but that the students did it anyway without credit!

Where They Stayed
Northwest Community
College, Powell, Wyoming; U of U, Salt Lake City; Alta Peruvian Lodge, Alta,
Utah
Major Projects
Elk Basin, Wasatch strip
map, Alta overthrust, Alta stock. Tim Demko says that "instead of the SLC
surficial deposits map, we did a bedrock mapping exercise in the foothills
of the Wasatch Mountains (or crawling on my hands and knees through scrub oak,
as I remember it).... The Alta glacial mapping project was cancelled due
to the immense snowpack that year."
