Description

In this introductory geomorphology course, students will study how stream processes shape landforms. Emphasis is placed on a basic understanding of geomorphic processes. Relationships between properties of earth materials and the forces applied to them by gravity, wind, ice, water, waves, and humans also will be explored. Lectures will address the conceptual basis of geomorphology, while the laboratory exercises will combine interpretation of aerial photographs and experiments on the water table with other hands-on activities that are both practical and empirical. PREREQUISITES: EET 103, EET 106, and EET 253.
