Students will measure, collect and analyze data relating to landforms created by streams, glaciers, shorelines, groundwater, wind and human activities. Course activities will help students infer from physical evidence how landscapes change over time. In addition, students will gain experience interpreting topographic maps, aerial photographs, satellite imagery and landforms.
