Off again after less than 24 hours in Dunedin to help teach a structural geology field trip along the relatively unpopulated Catlins coast. The weather was quite agreeable and the students seemed keen, both crucial to an enjoyable trip. The rocks exposed along the shore are the same as some outcropping in my field area hundreds of kilometers away, only here they are much less deformed. The field trip is well-planned around accessing the rocks exposed at low tide, such that classroom lectures are held during high tides. I limped my way around after a recent injury but luckily we never really covered to great a distance. For the third-year students taking the course, this trip is essentially a prelude to the longer, more involved Swinburn field camp that starts the day after their return.
