Earth Sciences Fieldwork Fund

Learning in the field is a transformative experience for students. From studying gigantic ancient millipede tracks on Arran, to ancient reefs and volcanoes in Spain, fieldwork is an enriching undergraduate experience.

Our fieldwork programme is central to helping create strongly motivated, highly employable geoscientists. This includes undergraduate fieldtrips and independent mapping projects.

Your Gift Matters

You can ensure that all students can participate in fieldwork. A gift of any amount makes a real difference, enabling future generations to have the same outstanding opportunities as their predecessors. Gifts to this fund could help us to:

  • £65 pays for a student's safety helmet for fieldwork
  • £80 covers one night of accommodation for a student on the field trip to Arran
