G 202 - Earth's Surface Systems |
This course centers on the dynamic processes that sculpt the
Earth's surface. These processes include weathering and
erosion, sediment deposition by water, wind, ice, and
mass-wasting. The course emphasizes a process view of
landscape change and builds students' understanding of
depositional systems. Lab work includes an overview of rocks
and minerals, using aerial photos and topographic maps to
identify landforms and understand landscapes, using geologic
maps, and some environmental applications. See additional
information about this geology sequence under the course
description for G 201.
