Flume Hydraulics and Sediment Transport Lab part of Geomorphology:Activities
Leonard Sklar, San Francisco State University
This exercise is intended to help link the observations of water and sediment motion that student made in the laboratory flume with the theory discussed in lecture.

Geomorphology Field Research Project part of Geomorphology:Activities
Jeff Marshall, California State Polytechnic University-Pomona
This research project allows students to integrate and apply their geomorphic knowledge in a comprehensive study of a local landscape. Working in teams, they investigate uplifted alluvial deposits along the ...

Florida River Project: Semester-long group project part of Introductory Courses:Activities
Kim Hannula, Fort Lewis College
This is a semester-long group research project that uses a local river to integrate several lab and field activities. The project covers topographic maps, rock and mineral identification, measuring data in the ...

Hydraulic Geometry and Channel Roughness part of Geomorphology:Activities
Les Hasbargen, SUNY College at Oneonta
In this field exercise, students measure channel cross sections in a rough (alluvial) and smooth bedrock-floored reach in a local stream. The students test the hypothesis that increasing roughness decreases average ...

Build a Delta! part of Geomorphology:Activities
Douglas Clark, Western Washington University
This is a 3-part lab that allows new geomorphology students to experience first-hand the scientific method by investigating the processes and results of river-delta formation.

Study of the Horsepen Creek Stream System part of Introductory Courses:Activities
Angela Moore, Guilford College
This is an in depth laboratory exercise that can be adapted to any stream system, and has been successfully implemented with classes composed primarily of non-majors. This field exercise allows students to go ...

Fluvial Processes Project - Analysis of Redwood Creek Field Data part of Geomorphology:Activities
Leonard Sklar, San Francisco State University
This exercise is intended to give student experience using field data they collected to analyze the fluvial processes that occur in Redwood Creek, and the landforms that result.

Data, Accuracy and Precision part of Geomorphology:Activities
Scott Linneman, Western Washington University
This first lab exercise requires lower-division geomorph students to generate and compare three topographic data sets for a small feature on campus.

Writing Abstracts part of Geomorphology:Activities
Zachary A. Musselman, Millsaps College
This activity requires students to read a journal article with the title, abstract and keywords removed. After reading the article, they must submit a title, abstract and keywords.

Stream Terraces part of Geomorphology:Activities
Donald Rodbell, Union College (Lincoln, NE)
Field work is surveying terraces along the Mohawk River and two of its tributary streams in eastern NY State. Lab write up requires students to present data graphically and to propose an hypothesis that explains ...
