The class will split time between learning and discussion of geomorphic principles and practicing them in the field. The class will be roughly based around the collection of new field data for an overarching class project. Satisfies depth or breadth course requirement in the Natural Science Track of the Environmental Studies major or interdisciplinary minor. Counts as an Applied Environmental Science course in the Natural Science track of the Environmental Studies interdisciplinary major. Prerequisites & Notes ENV 120 or ENV 201 or instructor permission.
