U-M 2012 Spain Geology Field Trip: Queue #8, #9, #10

We've arrived in Detroit. Next up the queues for passport control,
luggage, and customs. Then outside for the U-M bus, which
hopefully will be waiting for us curbside.

Acknowledgments and Support

Field trips are a critical and integral component of geoscience education. They provide students with unequaled opportunities for exploring and understanding geological principles first-hand, outside of the classroom, at real-world scales.

Such trips, however, are expensive endeavors. While students themselves bare a portion of the costs, we rely on grants and donations to cover the majority of the trip's costs. This helps to ensure an affordable experience open all students.

This year's field trip is supported by generous contributions from:

- An anonymous donor
- Department of Earth and Environmental Science Field Trip Excursion Fund (initially funded by an anonymous donation)
- University of Michigan International Institute
- Dpto. Estratigrafia, Fac CC Geologicas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid
- Shell
- BP

If you are interested in helping to support future field trips, please visit the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences' Giving Opportunities page for more information.

Special thanks go to Dra. Maribel Benito, trip co-leader, whose continued efforts and intellectual contributions are helping to ensure the scope and high quality of this year's field experience.
