The Department of Physics helps students translate classroom learning into real-world skills through initiatives such as the Geophysics Field School, a hands-on course that allows students to physically interact with the environment and practice the fundamentals of field research including geophysical data acquisition, processing, and interpretation. The Geophysics Field School helps students develop professionally by giving them practical experience, challenging their critical thinking skills, and providing them with training in fieldwork safety.
