In May, the Jackson School of Geosciences’ Marine Geology and Geophysics Field Course travelled to Port Aransas to gather data on coastal processes in and around Corpus Christi Bay. The class included several field course firsts, including use of a landing craft for deploying instruments in the bay’s shallows, a LIDAR-equipped drone, and extra days… Continue Reading Extended Field Course Helps Students Gain New Insights into Texas Coastal Geology
Back in the Field: Marine Geology and Geophysics Field Course Returned in 2021
When London Darce learned that the 2021 UT Marine Geology and Geophysics field course was going ahead, they jumped at the chance to make up for experiences they’d missed when the class was canceled early in the coronavirus pandemic. “Hands-on fieldwork is vital, it’s what the geosciences are all about,” Darce said. Darce, who is… Continue Reading Back in the Field: Marine Geology and Geophysics Field Course Returned in 2021

UT’s Marine Geology and Geophysics Field Course Needs Your Help
Each Maymester (between spring and summer semesters), the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) at the Jackson School of Geosciences, offers a three-week field course that provides hands-on instruction in the collection and processing of marine geological and geophysical data, including a week conducting at-sea investigations of coastal processes in the Gulf of Mexico.… Continue Reading UT’s Marine Geology and Geophysics Field Course Needs Your Help
Field Report: Geophysics Students Turn Samples into Science
By Monica KortshaThis is the second blog post in a short series covering the 2018 MG&G field course. Read the first one here. Students in the Jackson School’s Marine Geology & Geophysics (MG&G) course work with an array of data. On day-cruises offshore of Galveston Island they collect seismic data, multibeam data, and sediment samples.… Continue Reading Field Report: Geophysics Students Turn Samples into Science
