Introduction to a variety of topics in sediment transport and deposition, emphasizing linkages between active processes, landscape evolution, and the rock record. Topics include: introductory fluid mechanics; sediment transport by water, ice, and wind, and the development of fluvial bedforms, glacial landscapes, and sand dunes; groundwater geochemistry and the development of karst and caves. Each major topic is accompanied by field projects that emphasize local geologic history. A weekend field trip is required. (Required for Geoscience and Earth Science teaching majors.)
