An applied, systematic process approach to landform development based upon threshold concepts. The geomorphic processes emphasized include mass movements, fluvial, aeolian, glacial and karat geomorphology. Laboratory work is based upon aerial photographs, maps, field projects and computer data analysis. Emphasis will be placed on student-generated field data where appropriate.
Emphasis is on time-dependant changes in morphology and adaption.
