‪Geology Trip: Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland Farmington 2009‬

The Geology program at Farmington offers an exciting travel course every May Term, Field Studies in Geology. Locations for the course rotate on a four-year cycle. The highlight of the course is a twenty-one day trip to Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland. In 2009, fourteen students (Geology majors and non-Geology majors alike) accompanied Professor of Geology David Gibson and Assoc. Professor of Geology Julia Daly to Connemara, Donegal, Giants Causeway, Edinburgh, the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Skye and more. This exciting May Term course allows students to study the geology and learn field mapping techniques, as well as the history and culture of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
