Developing a stream restoration proposal part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
Gabrielle David, Boston College
Students spend the semester developing a stream restoration proposal for a local watershed. Students are asked to collect geomorphic field data and use these data to design a restoration plan.

Stream Morphometry, Stream Flow, Stream Competence part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
Alec Aitken, University of Saskatchewan
This exercise combines field activities (i.e., topographic survey of a point bar; sediment sampling with a soil auger), laboratory analysis (i.e., particle size analysis of fluvial sediments), topographic map ...

River Connections: Sharing Science through Film part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
Gabrielle David, Boston College
Students are given the opportunity to learn a process-based approach to river research, by developing research questions about river form and function in Maine. Students filmed themselves while collecting and ...

Case Study: Erosion at Providence Canyon part of Integrate:Workshops and Webinars:Pan-African Approaches to Teaching Geoscience:Activities
Colleen Stapleton, Mercer University
The assignment is to analyze the erosion at Providence Canyon, GA and interpret its cause(s). Students study information in the links provided and write a brief report describing the data that show that erosion ...

Wind Landforms part of Sedimentary Geology:Sedimentology, Geomorphology, and Paleontology 2014:Activities
Lisa Tranel, Illinois State University
In this assignment, students evaluate depositional and erosional landforms created by wind processes. This exercise looks at sand dune and yardang features using satellite images and topographic maps in an online ...

Using the "Visualization Interval" in WILSIM-GC to Model the Shape of the Grand Canyon Through Time part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore what the Grand Canyon might have looked like at various times in its history.

Using the "Simulation End Time" Parameter in WILSIM-GC to Model the Shape of the Grand Canyon in the Past and Future part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore what the Grand Canyon might look like in the future, assuming that the processes that have shaped it until now continue at similar rates.

Using WILSIM-GC to Model the Cliff Retreat Rate in Grand Canyon part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore how the "cliff retreat rate" of the walls of the Grand Canyon affects the shape and development of the canyon.

Using the Hard/Soft Contrast Parameter in WILSIM-GC to Model Lithostratigraphy in the Grand Canyon part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore how the "hard/soft contrast" of the walls of the Grand Canyon affects the shape and development of the canyon.

Using WILSIM-GC to Model the Subsidence Rate Along Grand Wash Fault, in the Grand Canyon part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use the computer simulation WILSIM-GC to explore how the "subsidence rate" on Grand Wash Fault affects the shape and development of the Grand Canyon.
