BotEC: The Grand Canyon's Rate of Erosion part of Quantitative Skills:Activity Collection
Question: Some geologic processes, like volcanism and earthquakes, occur intermittently but can cause significant and sometimes catastrophic change very quickly. Others, like weathering, act continuously but ...
Landscape Diffusion Lab part of Quantitative Skills:Activity Collection
Students create a STELLA model of two marine terrace platforms separated in elevation by a cliff, using the hillslope flux equation to simulate the change in the cliff face over time as diffusive processes tear it down.
Global Phosphorus Cycle part of Quantitative Skills:Activity Collection
Students create and modify a STELLA model of the global phosphorus cycle to test a number of scenarios.

ENV 170 The Fluid Earth part of Quantitative Skills:Courses
This is an introductory course with no pre-requisites that uses the global water cycle to teach important geological concepts.
Cartography, Landforms and Landform Analysis part of Quantitative Skills:Courses
Geography 205 is an introductory course to physical geography. This course, the first of a two course series (the other is Geography 206: Weather, Climate and Ecosystems) for Physical Geography at Shoreline ...
GE-158 Principles of Geological Science part of Quantitative Skills:Courses
This is an introductory course in Physical Geology with no pre-requisites, and serves as one of the science courses with a lab required for all university students to satisfy their general education requirements.
Discharge and Sediment Transport in the Field part of Quantitative Skills:Activity Collection
In this quantitative field activity, students collect field data on channel geometry, flow velocity, and bed materials. Using these data, they apply flow resistance equations and sediment transport relations to estimate the bankfull discharge and to determine if the flow is sufficient to mobilize the bed.
