Geophysical field school is an annual academic camping exercise that is aimed at exposing students to the practical aspects of geophysics. It is a three (3) credit hour course for third year students of applied geophysics aimed at educating students on the handling of geophysical equipment and the rudiments of data acquisition, processing and interpretation.
This year’s field school was held at Ikot Nakanda and its environs, in Akpabuyo locall government area of Cross River State. It was held between 18th and 24th of May, 2014.
