Also listed as Energy and Resources Group C130. Application of fluid mechanics to sediment transport and development of river morphology. Form and process in river meanders, the pool-riffle sequence, aggradation, grade, and baselevel. Three hours of seminar per week. Discussion of problems in fluvial processes, sediment transport, and hillslope development.
Topics vary from year to year.
Three hours of lecture per week. Advanced topics in watershed hydrology, geochemistry, and biogeochemistry, with emphasis on methods for predicting streamflow, sediment yield, and runoff chemistry at watershed scale. Effects of land use and atmospheric pollution on water quality in lakes and streams, illustrated with data from experimental watersheds in North America, Scandinavia, and Europe.
