Each year, geology undergraduates from the university stay at the Sierra Nevada Aquatics Research Lab (SNARL) for one week as part of their six-week-long field camp, dedicated to familiarizing the students with geological field methods. SNARL is located just north of where the Hilton Creek Fault crosses the McGee Creek Valley. The fault is well exposed and easily accessible, making it an ideal location for introductory field mapping. UNAVCO provided an engineer and TLS equipment to assist with the UC Santa Cruz field camp in 2013.
