Does the USGS offer field trips or classes?

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) does not have a formal program for providing field trips or classes. USGS employees will sometimes lead field trips or teach classes that are organized by outside organizations, but those are not advertised by the USGS.

The USGS has published numerous field-trip guides to geologic areas. Use our online Publications Warehouse to search for "field trip" or use your browser's search engine and include the keywords "usgs.gov field trip".

The USGS also has archived public lectures that are targeted to a general audience. On our Public Lectures website, click on "Multimedia" in the navigation menu, or see a similar list on the USGS YouTube site.
