UConn students traveled to Taiwan for a three-week Earth science field course, where they studied the country's unique geology and geohazards while engaging in cultural exchange. Led by Professor Tim Byrne, the program included fieldwork, lectures, and visits to sites like volcanoes and earthquake zones. Students collaborated with peers from National Taiwan University, broadening their perspectives on topics such as sustainable mining and natural disaster preparedness. They found fieldwork deepened their understanding of content taught in the classroom. The course also provided students with insights into potential career paths.
