Why Geology Field School
What you actually get
Medically trained local experts
Actual medically trained, local experts — not new-hire staff with a fresh certificate, and not international staff who have never done the course before and are geologists first / medics second.
Direct clear pricing
No contract memberships. No overspend. No surprise invoices after the trip. It costs what it says.
Course-specific site
Comprehensive site with world-exclusive 3D models, readings, videos, maps, and safety information for that trip.
Field app
Industry’s only app with a suite of tools to use in the field, plus all the info a participant needs during a trip.
Instructor IP
We highlight instructors who built and own their courses rather than making a 50–60% margin off their backs.

Field safety
EMT-founded. Safety is the operating system.
Geology Field School is EMT-founded and EMT-directed. Wilderness First Responder is the minimum on the ground; Emergency Medical Technician is the medical standard we build around. Kit is specified for this work. Field staff whose first job is safety — not a second hat.
Open to the public
Geo-Hikes
Open social geology hikes and backpacking trips led by Thomas L. Davis, PhD, through the Geologic Maps Foundation. Hikers, geologists, and geology students welcome — you do not need to be a geologist. Separate from industry field courses.
