Description: Geologic field problems and associated techniques for reconstructing Quaternary geologic, climatologic, and hydrologic events recorded in the landforms, stratigraphy, and weathering profiles of selected regions. Field techniques include relative and calibrated dating analysis, section measurements, morpho- and lithostratigraphic analysis, and map con- structions in fluvial, lacustrine, glacial, coastal, and eolian environments.
