GEOL 511 - Advanced Geomorphology

Credits: Variable

Theory and applications of surface processes in problems of geologic, environmental, and human significance. Topics will include tectonic geomorphology (interrelationships between active deformation and surface morphology); surface hydrology (including flood frequency analysis and geomorphic principles of stream remediation); coastal zone processes (especially human interactions with coastal erosion, transport and deposition). Prerequisite: introductory geomorphology such as GEOL 211/311 and introductory mineralogy such as GEOL 212/303.
