Abstract
Fieldwork is recognised as a significant medium through which to link research and teaching in the geosciences. In this short paper we provide three case studies demonstrating how these links are applied in our undergraduate curriculum. Level 1 geoscience students are introduced to geology research, fieldwork and mapping in complex terrains in an exercise involving grid sketching of small areas of polydeformation and metamorphism. A second study examines the integration of postgraduate research topics and areas with exploration geophysics techniques training in the Adelaide Hills. Finally, the links between consultancy, research and teaching are shown in a programme of exploration drilling for gold in an emerging mineral field in remote South Australia.
