Module 4: Exploring the Grand Canyon Using WILSIM-GC: Changing multiple parameters simultaneously part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students explore the effects of changing multiple parameters simultaneously in WILSIM-GC. Through this exploration, students develop an understand of how the physical model parameters interact with each other, and relate those interactions to the geological processes that control the development of the landscape.

Module 3: Exploring the Grand Canyon Using WILSIM-GC: Interpreting simulated landforms, cross-sections and profiles part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students interpret simulated landforms, cross-sections, and profiles generated by WILSIM-GC, a computer simulation of the development of the Grand Canyon. For each type of simulation output, the students first hypothesize which model parameter was altered to produce the simulated image, then test their hypothesis and discuss the results.

Module 2: Exploring the Effects of Each Model Parameter in WILSIM-GC part of WILSIM:Activities
Kyle Whalley, Northern Illinois University
Students use WILSIM-GC to simulate the development of the Grand Canyon, and learn about how each variable in the simulation affects the resulting topography.

Fluvial Landforms on Maps part of Geomorphology:Activities
Karen Gran, University of Minnesota-Duluth
This is an in-class exercise designed to A) give students more practice reading topographic maps, B) have students identify fluvial landforms on maps, and C) get students thinking about the processes that formed ...

Viewing geomorphic landforms with Google Earth part of Geomorphology:Activities
Amy Brock, Western Illinois University
Geomorphic processes are not limited to the local or regional area around the University and most students have not been outside of the region. With today's technology we are able to see features on the ...

Introduction to Topographic Maps part of Introductory Courses:Activities
Mark W. Bowen, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh
This exercise introduces students to topographic maps and some of the information presented on them. Students must use basic map reading skills as well as algebra to work with map scale, measure distances, and ...
