Welcome to the web pages of
SPACE AND PLANETARY SCIENCES GRADUATE PROGRAM
Orientation Field
Trip
Welcome to
Orientation!
On these pages you will find news, announcements, assignments, handouts, and
hopefully other useful material on the field trip.
You will probably find the trip
more useful if you read these materials before and after the trip.
The program organizes a field
trip at the beginning of every academic year so that everyone can get to know
each other and the mood can be set for the lectures, seminars and laboratory
work of the upcoming year. For
students with no previous exposure to fieldwork, it is a valuable insight into
this aspect of space and planetary science research. To date, we have assembled three courses that have or could
be offered. We will add more as
they are developed.
"412 to Mars” (Northwest Oklahoma)
"Earth as a Planet” (Northern Arizona)
