Each year we organize and sponsor an accessible Geology field trip in conjunction with the Geological Society of America’s national meeting. Locations change every year based on where the conference is being held. These trips showcase great geology locations as well as demonstrate tangible ways to make field courses more accessible and inclusive. Everyone is welcome, though preference is given to people with disabilities, and people interested in learning how to run accessible field trips. IAGD field trips are free of cost for attendees thanks to our donors. Join us for our next accessible adventure!
