Monument Creek hydraulics project part of Cutting Edge:Geomorphology:Activities
This is a several-part field and computer-based project that involves students in measurement of stream-channel geometry, basic stream-hydraulics calculations, and flood-frequency analysis. Its primary strengths are (1) that it gets students to apply abstract concepts from their reading to a real-world setting and (2) it forces them to design a research protocol to answer a series of questions posed in the assignment.

Surface Processes and Geomorphology part of Cutting Edge:GIS and Remote Sensing:Courses
This is a process-oriented geomorphology course with substantial "interactive lecture", lab, field, and GIS components. In addition to an emphasis on geomorphic processes and methods particular to their analysis, the course has a strong additional focus on research design, data collection and analysis, and scientific writing.
