Hokkaido University Museum will hold a training course for rock parataxonomists (intermediate level) on August 23rd.

The Earth we live on is mostly made up of rocks. In this course, you will learn how the rocks that make up the part of the Earth's surface called the crust were formed and their origins. You will also learn what minerals rocks are made up of, and how to observe actual rock samples and identify the types of rocks and minerals.
