Geology in New Zealand

Location and Lodging

The 2012 Geology seminar will use various sites across both the North and South Islands. Accommodation will range from rustic field stations to urban youth hostels. In some places we will cook as a group, and others may be catered. Travel days may include an allowance to be spent on finding students’ own meals.

Expenses

The cost of instruction, room, board, all program events, and group transportation will be covered by the 2011-12 comprehensive fee. All major scientific equipment and supplies are provided. Students are responsible for the cost of round-trip transportation from the U.S. to New Zealand, and any personal travel during the midterm break within New Zealand.  Participants are also responsible for purchase of books, personal items, independent travel during the mid-term break, and some personal field gear and clothing.
