2023 IAGD Accessible Field Course Application
The field trip will take place Thursday, October 19th, starting and ending at the Lawrence Convention center.

We will explore the geology of western Pennsylvania and the impacts of water on the region’s geomorphology in this day trip, which will leverage accessible field trip stops to provide all attendees with an opportunity to interact with the local geology, hydrology, and history. The first part of the trip will explore local and regional geological history visible from Frick Park, located within the Pittsburgh city limits, via landscapes, overlooks, and outcrops along paved trails and park roads. After this introduction to the local geology, we will visit two passive treatment systems, one at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden and one at Wingfield Pines, which were installed to treat net-acidic and net-alkaline coal mine drainage, respectively. Participants will have an opportunity to learn about passive treatment system design, engage in water sampling and discuss their analysis with local experts to examine the effectiveness of these treatment systems.

Preference is given to those with disabilities (which is why we require an application form), but all are welcome. Our trips are designed for anyone who wants to see some great geology in an inclusive, accessible format. Lunch and entrance fees are covered. There is no cost to participate in the  field trip thanks to our donors, but participants will have to cover any lodging expenses. If you are a disabled geoscience student or professional and that extra night in a hotel between the conference and the field trip is a major barrier, please indicate that on the form. We have a very limited capacity to assist a few people with lodging.
