A day at field camp, a fault zone, and the next generation of structural geologists. 🧭⛏️

Since 2022, Brunton has proudly donated an engraved Axis Transit to Fort Lewis College’s top structural geology student through the Fort Lewis College Structure Award.

This one means a lot to us: Fort Lewis College is where the Axis was first invented by Brunton’s now-owner, Lauren Heerschap, while she was a lecturer there. Today, FLC structure students use the Axis during field camp and beyond to visualize, streamline, and speed up structural measurements—from simple bedding planes to more complex fault surfaces and lineations.

Pictured here are 2025 awardee Ethan Ribble and 2026 awardee Camden Cruickshank taking measurements along the Moab Fault. With the AXIS, they can take simultaneous strike & dip measurements of the plane, along with simultaneous trend & plunge measurements of the slickenlines.

Ethan shared:

“Field geology is my passion, specifically work with a focus on rocks, minerals, and the structures that define them. Being able to have my own Brunton and take quick & accurate measurements on the go has been a major development in how I collect data in coursework and on my own travels. I hope to go onto a career path with a focus on mapping, structural analysis, and mineral exploration.”

Congrats to Ethan, Camden, and all the Fort Lewis College field camp students putting in the work where geology really happens: in the field. 🙌

Field camp days are the best days. 🧭⛏️

Brunton CEO Lauren recently spent a day in the field with Camp Branson — University of Missouri Field Camp, working with students and instructors on beautiful rock and comparing measurements with both classic/conventional transits and the Brunton Axis.

There’s nothing better than seeing the next generation of geologists hands-on, out in the field, learning the tools, reading the landscape, and building real confidence one measurement at a time.

Huge thanks to the University of Missouri students and teachers for letting us join the day—we had a blast. 🙌

🎉 Congratulations to the 2026 AAPG Foundation Field Camp Scholars! 🎉

Brunton is proud to celebrate the 67 outstanding students selected to receive AAPG Foundation Field Camp Scholarships this year.

Field camp is one of the most important experiences in a geoscientist’s education—transforming classroom knowledge into real-world skills through hands-on fieldwork, observation, experience, mapping, and discovery.

These scholars represent the future of geoscience, and we are honored to support their journey alongside the AAPG Foundation. Their dedication, curiosity, and hard work will help shape the next generation of geologists, environmental scientists, researchers, and industry leaders.

Congratulations on this incredible achievement. We look forward to seeing where your careers—and your adventures—take you next.
