GEO-410L Geomorphology Laboratory
The lab component of this course investigates the
interactions between surface processes and
landforms through field measurements and
laboratory analysis. Methods of geomorphological
analysis, topographic map interpretation, and
aerial photo interpretation are used to further
develop topics covered in lecture: weathering,
slope processes, soil erosion, fluvial and
glacial processes and landforms, mountain
building, rates of landscape change, and
megafloods. Analyses of surface processes and
landforms focus on field examples within Idaho
and the Pacific Northwest.
Corequisite
