TRIP IS FULL

Join an exciting and enthusiastic group of students and educators as they learn first-hand the wonders of active volcanism on the Big Island of Hawaii!

This eight-day field trip on the Big Island of Hawaii will introduce you to plate tectonics, hot spot volcanism and the geologic features and hazards associated with living on an active volcano. We will discuss volcanic edifices, eruption styles, magma evolution and see various types of lava flows, lava lakes, tree molds and lava trees, fault scarps, rifts, craters and calderas.

We will use our observations and new-found knowledge to discuss methods on how to effectively communicate geologic concepts with our peers, students, teachers and the general public.

This trip is designed for college students,teachers and teachers-in-training.
