Learn about Taiwan’s geology and how the island has formed on this four-day excursion to the beautiful Hengchun Peninsula in southern Taiwan. During the course, you will see million-years old rock formations, search for fossilized shells in the jungle, and explore the spectacular landscape of uplifted ancient coral reefs. On our way, we will stop at the earthquake museum in Wufeng, and we will also visit Moon World where you can explore a landscape that looks as if it were from another planet.

This course is designed for non-geology students, which gives a general geological introduction to Hengchun Peninsula, Southern Taiwan. Students will learn how to observe the field and take geological surveys to understand surface geology. This course includes one indoor class, one rock identification class, a four-day field excursion with daily assignments, and the final exam.

The field excursion involves some challenging physical activities, such as climbing sharp coral reefs and hiking through a gorge. If you are interested in learning about geology while getting sweaty and dirty in the process, then this course is perfect for you.

The course will be taught in English and is specially designed for international students.
