Description: Prerequi- site(s): GEO 101 or GEO 162 or consent of instructor. Examines topics in tectonic geomorphology. Includes paleoseismology, geodesy, geochronology, landscape response, numerical modeling, and terrain analysis. Covers field techniques such as relative and calibrated dating analysis, section measurements, morpho- and lithostratigraphic analysis, and reconstruction of Qua- ternary events from landforms. Also addresses map constructions in fluvial, lacustrine, glacial, coastal, and eolian environments.
