The goals of this upper level geomorphology class are for students to learn the main theoretical principles concerning the behavior of rivers and their relations to their drainage basins, as well as to apply those principles in the field through measurement and analysis of various river characteristics. A syllabus for the lecture and lab are presented. Of great interest are the stream survey class projects for Swamp Creek, Issaquah Creek, Snoqualmie River, and Green River (all of which are within the vicinity of the University of Washington). Each project has photos of the study area and links to data spreadsheets of hydraulic properties like bankfull width, roughness, and stream profile. Some projects have maps and/or GIS layers for the study areas. In addition, the Swamp Creek Project description includes a link to Microsoft's Terra Server project.
