Summary	These changes are proposed for EASC10111 "GP International Field Course" for the year 2020-21 ONLY/ Desk-based replacement for course in field geophysics (80%) Presentations during week 10 of semester 2 (20%)
Course description	This course includes two components, both of which are essential components of the geophysics senior honours year, but which are otherwise independent of each other. The first component is, in a normal year, a geophysics field course. In September 2020 we will not be able to travel to the planned location in France. Instead, students will be presented with data from a previous field course and will attempt to assemble it into a report on the field area. The second component is a presentation given during week 10 of Semester 2. The subject of the presentation is the project work which the student carried out over the course of the year.

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to: understand the value of various geophysical techniques, when each technique should and should not be used, and what it can tell you about the Earth. make decisions and interpretations where data is limited and comes from a range of sources. give conference presentations to a professional standard.
