The Jackson School of Geosciences is among the most established and well-regarded geoscience programs in the world, uniting one of the country’s oldest academic departments, the Department of Geological Sciences, with two world-renowned research units, the Institute for Geophysics and the Bureau of Economic Geology.
The Jackson School works to train future generations of geoscience leaders to tackle big issues that matter to everyone. Providing safe and sustainable energy, understanding and combating climate change, ensuring a reliable and clean water supply, and better understanding and predicting natural disasters are just a few examples.

Fieldwork is an integral part of the Jackson School student experience. From the freshman NeoGeo trip to our capstone summer field courses, our students get hands-on experience from the start. In recent years, the school expanded field camp offerings to include hydrogeology and marine geosciences to provide a range of opportunities and experiences.
For example, Marissa Vara, a GeoFORCE graduate, (B.S. ’14) said participating in the Marine Geology and Geophysics (MG&G) field course paved the way for her to join a research mission in Antarctica. “It was just such a cool experience and one that I will never forget, and it was because of connections that I made at the MG&G field camp,” said Vara, who is currently a National Science Foundation Science Assistant.
Fieldwork helps to integrate the many facets of geology that students learn in their courses, and teaches them to synthesize disparate and incomplete information. Our undergraduate and graduate students have opportunities to travel throughout the country and internationally to conduct research. They also benefit from the natural laboratory of Texas, which includes some of the world’s most avidly studied geological sites. While these experiences are invaluable, travel and other related expenses associated with short field trips typically range from $100 to $1,000 for a group, and an average 6-week summer field course costs between $5,000 and $6,000 per student.
