Field trips
Hands-on training keeps you current on the job and allows you the opportunity to explore a part of the world you may not have seen before. Geosciences professionals at any stage of their careers will find a variety of field trip options to choose from. See map for departure point.
The registration deadline for short courses and field trips has been extended through 1 September. Avoid sell-outs and cancellations — register early.
Field trips (with the exception of FT 1) depart from and return to downtown Calgary – one block east of the Calgary Tower. See map for more information.
