Evaluation will be based on homework problems, a midterm examination, a short term paper, and a final comprehensive examination. No Data Given. Earth Surface Processes and Soils. Primarily for Concentrators Section 001. Study of processes resulting in landforms on the Earth's solid surface and the formation of soils on these landforms.
Emphasis includes present-day processes as well as the evolution of landforms over geologic time.
A previous course in geology is not required, but would be helpful. Lectures, map exercises, and several required field trips to examine landforms and processes in southern Michigan. No Data Given. Primarily for Concentrators Section 001. These principles will be applied directly to real geological sequences through problem oriented exercises, including exercises in seismic stratigraphic and seismic facies interpretation.
