Exploring in the First National Park
Boise State’s Department of Geosciences teaches students about geology, hydrology, geophysics, and interactions between humans and earth systems. Many classes, including "Yellowstone Geophysics," use the natural environment and student field trips as an integral component of the classroom.
In September 2017, geoscience students spent four days camping in Yellowstone and exploring the geology of the national park. The weather is invariably brisk during the early fall, but it is an ideal time for students to visit; crowds are diminished and students have time before the trip to do background research on the geologic history of Yellowstone.
