Many thanks Rob for compiling this. As you all know I see this as a critical part of the training for young geo-scientists and in my view its one where we need to refocus a considerable part our our attention if we are to help address the increasing problems of resources and sequestration facing our societies. Despite being "forthright and jaundiced" I do remain optimistic!! And there was me thinking I'd mellowed..... Alan _____ From: Tectonics & structural geology discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Butler, Robert Sent: 17 June 2008 16:16 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Guide to fieldwork Members of the geotectonics list may recall that back in September 07 there was a brief discussion on the list prompted by the question: "why do fieldwork"? As explained at the time - I was asking for responses to add a bit of spice to a booklet I was preparing on field teaching.... Well - it's now out: Teaching Geoscience through Fieldwork. It's available freely online via the GEES Subject Centre: http://www.gees.ac.uk/pubs/guides/eesguides.htm#fwgeosciguide You can also order printed copies direct from the site. I hope there are aspects people will find useful - notwithstanding the UK focus!
