Comments on mapping course

I would recommend this class, essentially unmodified, to all geologists who have not had a mapping class in the past 10 years. Even more important, I strongly recommend this class to all geophysicists interpreting thrust terrains. The types of deformation can not be imagined; they need to be seen (and mapped) to be understood. Gary L. Prost

Overall, I felt I benefitted greatly from the course, and recommend we continue to make it available to a much wider audience within our company. Many of our domestic geologists, stratigraphers, and new hires with little field background should be considered as candidates. Ralph N. Baker

During my career I have participated in a large number of structural fieldtrips, notably back in Europe, in the classical areas of the Alps, the Carpathians, the Apennines, the Hellenides, and the Taurides. Your field trip in Montana, however, offered some extraordinary and exceptional cases of complex structural relationships which I have found especially useful to improve dramatically my structural geology skills.

The course will definitely help me with my job assignment working complex structures in the Oman Mountains and foreland area. I would recommend it highly for any geologist, but I think that geophysicists may benefit more than I would have imagined from the course title. Peter Lascelles

The best continuing education training program I have been to in my entire career. 17-year seismic interpreter.

The two instructors were deeply knowledgeable of compressional tectonics and the history of the Rocky Mountains. I would recommend this course to anyone actively working compressional terrains or anyone planning geologic field work regardless of the structural regime. 10-year geologist.
