IRES 2025 Photos

These images capture the scientific core of the 2025 IRES trip. They document the landscapes, formations, and field observations that grounded our research in real-world context. From layered stratigraphy and exposed outcrops to close-up textures of rock samples, each photograph reflects the hands-on learning that defines IRES. They showcase moments of careful observation, discussion in the field, and the excitement of connecting classroom concepts to the physical processes shaping the Earth.

These moments highlight the immersive experiences that broadened understanding beyond geology. Walking through historic streets, sharing meals, engaging with local communities, and exploring cultural landmarks all became meaningful parts of the journey. The 2025 IRES trip offered students the opportunity to learn from people, traditions, and environments different from their own, fostering global awareness alongside scientific growth.
