PGS Student Field Workshop, 2024

The Pittsburgh Geological Society is pleased to announce our 19th annual student field workshop! 

The event is a hands-on, practical demonstration of the tasks, knowledge, and skills of a typical early-career field geologist.  Participating students will learn how environmental and geotechnical drilling is done and develop their approach to prepare for a career in geology and environmental sciences.

The costs of the Student Field Workshop are underwritten by the PGS Galey Fund for student education and by prior generous donation from Wally and Susan Scott Phillips in memory of George O. Scott. In addition, special thanks to the professionals that have agreed to volunteer their time in support of this opportunity.

This YEAR's FIELD WORKSHOP will take place
Friday, April 12 & Saturday, April 13
