Field Trips

Overview

IGI organises and leads field trips covering the geology of Devon, Dorset and Somerset in England, and SE Caerphilly in Wales. Based on a wide variety of locations, these field excursions can cover a selection of the following: 

• The general geology, sedimentology, palaeontology and structure both at a site and regional level  
• Petroleum geology and geochemistry, in particular, the Petroleum Systems of the Wessex Basin (Dorset & South Devon). The Wessex basin includes excellent outcrops of source rocks, reservoir rocks and oil seeps, all set in a dynamic tectonic setting. This field area encompasses most of "The Jurassic Coast", a World Heritage Site on the basis of the excellent sites that allow a geological "walk through time" from the Triassic to the Cretaceous.

Who should attend? 

These field trips are suitable for groups ranging from industry geoscience specialists to non-geologists, with the level of detail and the nature of discussions being pitched to meet the particular range of experience of the participants. 
Field trips and courses can be tailored to meet the needs of individual clients, and can include: 

• Field observations and discussions
• Classroom training (see our training course page on our website) for example, fundamental petroleum geochemical concepts to underpin the field observations
• Class-based workshops on relevant geochemical data (e.g. interpretation and basin modelling)
• Client only sessions
• Team building exercises

We can combine a field trip with a training course, e.g 2-3 days training and 2 days 
in the field 

Prices start at £2000.00 per day for the Field Trip Leader. Safety equipment and course related material will be provided. All the travel within the UK, accommodation and meals will be arranged to meet your requirements and will be charged at cost.
