GEOB 103: Water and Landscapes

This is the online forum for posting questions about the course, and discussing the course material. Questions that are frequently asked about the labs and the lectures will be organized on two separate subpages. There will also be a page dedicated to the fieldtrip. While the instructor and TA's will probably make most of the contributions to this page, student input is strongly encouraged.

What is the course about?

This course introduces students to the study of geology, hydrology and geomorphology. Geology is the science and study of the Earth, its composition, structure, physical properties, history, and the processes that shape it. Hydrology is the study of the movement and distribution of water throughout the Earth, and addresses both the hydrologic cycle and water resources. Geomorphology is the study of landforms and the processes that shape them. Together these disciplines encompass most of the processes that impact human societies (such as volcanic eruptions, ﬂoods, landslides and droughts), and many of the natural resources upon which modern societies are built.
