This is the homepage for an upper level geomorphology class. It contains the class syllabus, as well as links to associated resources such as topographic maps and US landforms. A detailed introduction to the influence of geologic structure on landform development is provided. This structural lesson has many diagrams and topographic map links to aide in interpretation. A tutorial section further enforces these concepts with three interactive maps. Four sets of thumbnail photos from class field trips are available. Although the photos contain no descriptions, the slides pertain to river morphology and the effects of waterways on soil formation. The professor has complied two extensive reviews for exam preparation. These reviews contain a listing of relevant terms, short answer questions, essay questions, and numerous map and photo questions. Outside links are provided to topographic map sources and hydrologic information.
