Fieldschool 2008
In August 2008 students entering their final year of their undergraduate degree undertook a two week fieldschool. The students found themselves working in areas of PGE mineralisation near Marathon, Archean volcanic rocks near Beardmore, and Midcontinent Rift related rocks south of the US border. The following photos are some of the highlights.
