高山科学考察 put students in the most remote locations, climbing the highest mountains, all while conducting cutting-edge research. Expeditions are designed for students who want to learn through outdoor adventure. For those who love mountaintops, 野外徒步旅行, 滑雪, 滑雪, 山地自行车, and living in a tent for weeks or months at a time at elevations from 3,000人到12人以上,000 feet above sea level – your adventure is calling.
ASI study environments include 黄石国家公园甘尼特峰， 大提顿国家公园, and Wyoming’s Wind River Range. The ASI experiential learning strategy focuses on the integration of field-based skills with Outdoor Education, Environmental Science and Archaeology. We are based in the heart of the Rocky Mountains but partner with institutions across the nation and beyond to provide additional opportunities for our students as far away as the Alps and Andes. Classroom and lab instruction is conducted on our campuses in 楼下, 着陆器, and 乐天堂app, Wyoming.
This annual expedition takes students on extended journeys into the Fitzpatrick Wilderness Area in the Shoshone National Forest to conduct research on and around the Dinwoody Glacier and Gannett Peak (13,809英尺). Students perform glaciological and hydrological research and investigate archaeological sites dating back almost 12,000 years made by some of the earliest humans in North America. These expeditions include explorations of North America’s highest prehistoric buffalo jump (11,000 feet) and related campsites.

Embark upon a long mountain bike tour – long, as in 1500 miles or so!
The ride is called The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, and students will be traveling from Banff, 从亚伯达到怀俄明. The students will all be using SPOT GPS trackers, and you can follow their progress here.
The research project is called BioPeak and will involve the collection of air quality data along the route, as well as self-measurements on HR, 重量, and a suite of other physiological parameters.

If reaching the highest point in Wyoming is on your bucket list, 乐天堂app can help you get there. Gannett Peak is the highest point in Wyoming. It stands 13,810′ and is the adventure of a lifetime. Join experienced outdoor education instructor Darran Wells and Stacy Wells and challenge yourself in this Mountaineering Expedition.
CWC archaeology students enjoy spending the summer months roaming high alpine and desert basin landscapes, from 黄石国家公园 in the west to Thunder Basin and the Black Hills in the east. We live in remote tent camps and work at multiple sites from Oregon Trail forts to Paleoindian bison kills dating to the Late Pleistocene. CWC Field School students learn advanced field methods, 技术, and theories in subjects from archaeoastronomy and botany to paleoecology and zoology. These skills prepare our students to join research expeditions overseas, 在学术界有所提升, or become one of the hundreds of professional archaeologists working in the US West.
The expedition requires students to develop a scientific research project and implement their plan on the flanks of Mt. 乞力马扎罗, East Africa’s highest peak. Participants on this course plan to spend several days at more than 17,000 feet to learn about research methods in glaciology and apply them to the high elevation glaciers of Mt. 乞力马扎罗.
