If you are thinking of field camp this summer, the TAMUK Geology
program announced their summer 2016 field camp at the CCGS luncheon
last week. They passed on electronic versions of the flyer and
application form the other day, and I am passing them on here.
Several of our students have attended the TAMUK field camp with
pretty good results. In fact, last year one of our students who
attended received the Best Final Field Report award for a report
that "was clear, well written and similar to what one would expect
at the conclusion of a large project, totaling 28 pages of text and
51 figures." Woo-hoo, go TAMUCC Geology! Anyway, materials for
their summer 2016 field camp are attached, and also feel free to
write TAMUK Prof. Mark Ford with any questions (his e-mail is
below).<br>
<br>
I believe there is some advantage to participating in a TAMU system
program (whether it be by TAMUK or the main TAMU campus) because
since we are also part of the TAMU system, I think you can qualify
for financial aid for some help with the expense. But do confirm
this with somebody who knows for certain (probably the Financial Aid
Office...) in case I am incorrect.<br>
<br>
I alluded to the main TAMU campus geology field camp above, and I
can personally vouch for that camp as well having taught a portion
of it in summer 2012. I was in the Montana-based version, and it
was definitely comprehensive and rigorous. You can find some
information about that camp at

<pre>Mark,
Thank you for getting in touch with me.
I include the application (word format) and a flyer. Feel free to print, post and/or distribute as you see fit.
We are working on the website but it will be a week or so before it is updated.
If you or any students have any questions, call or Email.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I looked on your guys' website, and found materials for the summer
2015 field camp, but not for the one this coming summer. When you get a chance, would you mind sending electronic copies of the materials you gave me yesterday? Thanks!
Mark
