EARTH AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES (BL-GEOL-IUBLA)

The Judson Mead Geological Field Station (IUGFS) is a unique Indiana University facility located in Montana and operated by the Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) for one of the nation's top ranked field geology programs. The facility includes state of the art classroom building, faculty housing units, kitchen and cafeteria facilities, student dorm rooms, accessory buildings, and a resident manager house. More information about the Station can be found here, about the EAS here, and about College of Arts and Sciences here.

The Field Station and EAS strives to lead the nation in:

• Teaching geosciences in the field;
• Field-based geoscience research, both for new knowledge about the geology of SW Montana and better ways to teach geosciences in the field;
• Development of best practices in field geosciences.

We offer a world-class facility located in some of the most diverse and complex geology in North America. During the summer months the facility is an active teaching campus with up to 100 students, faculty, and staff on-site. In the off-season it is used by outside groups and the winter is an active time for maintenance and improvements.

We value diversity, equity, and inclusion as a core strength and essential element in the success of its educational mission. For the full diversity statement, click here.
