Meteor Crater Field Camp

Field Training and Research Program at Meteor Crater

Program Description

2011 Fall Session
Sunday, September 25, 2011 - Saturday, October 1, 2011

The Field Training and Research Program at Meteor Crater is a week long
field class and research project based at Barringer Meteorite Crater,
Arizona <http://www.meteorcrater.com/>, more popularly known as Meteor
Crater. The goal of the field camp will be to introduce students to
impact cratering processes and provide an opportunity to assist with a
research project at the crater. Skills developed during field camp
should better prepare students for their own thesis studies in impact
cratered terrains, whether they be on Earth, the Moon, Mars, or some
other solar system planetary surface. This field camp is being organized
under the auspices of the NASA Lunar Science Institute
<http://lunarscience.arc.nasa.gov/>, which is designed, in part, to
train a new generation of explorers for the Moon and beyond.

Students are responsible for transportation to Flagstaff, AZ.
Transportation will be provided from Flagstaff to Meteor Crater RV Park
(the team's campsite). Students should plan to arrive on Saturday,
September 24, 2011 and depart on Sunday, October 2, 2011. Additional
logistical details will be provided to selected participants.

This student opportunity is made possible with the generous assistance
of the Barringer Crater Company and Meteor Crater Enterprises
<http://www.meteorcrater.com/>.
