GE 641 - Advanced Geomorphology (3 units)
Quantitative, process oriented geomorphology focusing upon the interaction of landforms and processes including aeolian and fluvial systems, hillslopes, mass-movements, weathering, soil processes and climate, and tectonics.
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Fall - Even Years
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. demonstrate, through analytical papers and laboratory reports, that they can write and understand basic mathematical statements describing the mechanics that generate common landforms.
2. demonstrate, through analytical papers and laboratory reports, that they can look at a landscape or topographic map and determine the specific processes of erosion and deposition shaping the landforms, as well as the hazards or management concerns they present.
3. demonstrate, through complete Arc GIS projects, they have developed a working knowledge of geographic information systems that can be used throughout professional practice.
4. to read and critically evaluate relevant scientific literature in geomorphology.
5. demonstrate an advanced level of competency.
6. discuss the relationship of geomorphology in the broader context of the field.
