EAPS

Informational Meeting: Newfoundland
Date Time Location
May 2nd, 2017 5:00pm-6:00pm 54-1017
This trip is open to all EAPS undergraduates and graduate students. Flights, lodging, and food will be included. All undergraduates are particularly encouraged to join the trip and will have first priority on available spaces.

The trip will run from August 28th to September 4th, before the beginning of the Fall 2017 academic term. We will hold an informational meeting on Tuesday, May 2nd, at 5:00 pm in 54-1017.

The trip will focus on the geology of Newfoundland and will cross three ancient continents with stops along the way including world-famous Ediacaran fossils, ophiolites and suture zones, Snowball Earth deposits, Quaternary glacial valleys and fjords.

Prior to the field trip each participant will be responsible for preparing materials on a particular topic and will present during the trip. We plan on having at least one more meeting before the end of the semester to organize topics and materials after the May 2nd meeting. There will be a 3 credit course everyone will enroll in for the Fall 2017 semester.

Please plan to join the informational meeting if you are interested in the trip; if you cannot attend but are still interested, please email kdberg@mit
