Earth's surface is always changing. Geomorphology is the study of Earth's surface, its landforms, and the processes that shape landscapes. The goal of this course is for students to gain an understanding of Earth surface processes, how these processes influence human activities, and how the landscape could change in the future. This course will include field trips and projects that examine different landforms and processes in New England, including glaciation, river processes, coastal erosion, and mass movement. This course is designed for students with interests in ecology, geology, civil engineering, hydrology, forestry, and soil science.
Writing and Research Quantitative Skills Students are expected to spend at least six to eight hours a week of preparation and work outside of class time.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
