This course provides the fundamental scientific background needed to discover and understand the meaning of fossils as they are preserved, as well as gain actual field experience in Wyoming. Students go “behind the scenes” at the Field Museum to examine previously collected fossils and learn how to prepare, conserve, and analyzespecimens. 研究基础地质学(包括岩石和矿物、地层学、地球历史和制图技能)、进化生物学(包括对鱼类和其他淡水动物的比较骨骼解剖,这些动物的大规模进化模式,以及Fossil Lake Range的50万年的生态系统是如何建立和运作的),以及基于标本的研究方法。这门课程提供了发现和理解化石的意义所需要的基本科学背景,并在怀俄明州获得实际的实地经验。学生们在野外博物馆“幕后”去检查先前收集的化石,并学习如何准备、保存和分析。 【先修要求】: 科学课程,最好是地理或生物 【就读课程】:1门课程 【学分信息】:有学分 【申请材料】: 1. 成绩单(当前学期,及最近两年的成绩单); 2. 推荐信(1封); 3. 标化成绩(如果有,请提供:ACT,PSAT,SAT,TOEFL,IELTS等); 4.

In usual summer sessions, students are just taught in the classroom, but we had plenty of chances of taking part in real field work and this kind of experience cannot be acquired through usual courses.” Jiaron Q., Shaoxing No. 1 High School, Shaoxing, China 选自美国夏校精选
