EAPS 46 Field Methods: Surface Processes

Field-based study of the physical, geochemical, and geobiological processes active on the Earth’s surface. The integrated use of field observations with geophysical, geomorphic, geochemical, geobiological, and hydrologic techniques, including surficial maps and remote sensing data, is applied to investigate the interactions between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere, both past and present. This includes the comparison of Earth surface processes to those on other planets. Because of the nature of this course, class meetings, assignments, readings, and reports are scheduled irregularly.

Prerequisite

The Courses@Dartmouth contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
