GEOG 3080

Students examine how landscapes develop and evolve through the interrelationship between surface processes, materials, landforms, and human activity. Students examine geomorphic processes that relate to practical community land use problems in lectures and methods of landform mapping and sediment analysis in the laboratory and field settings. In addition, students will actively gain tools for engaging in ongoing scientific learning and apply these skills and abilities to the study of river, landslide, glacier, permafrost, desert, and coastal processes and landscapes.
