APPLIED PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY

Catalog description

This course applies principles from the introductory Physical Geography course to current environmental concerns. Processes of material transfer and energy flow are discussed relative to cultural modifications of the Earth's surface. Scientific theory and data are used to understand and predict Earth surface responses to environmental modification. Course work involves extensive quantitative techniques, computer applications, and use of such tools as Global Positioning Systems. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites: ENVL 2100 AND ENVL 2200 AND ENVL 2400 AND ENVL 2600 with a grade of C or better.
