LAR 734 - Rivers: Processes & Forms

Credits: 3

This course addresses key aspects of hydrology such as precipitation and movement of water from
uplands to channels. This movement, generally referred to as “runoff processes,” is responsible for
shaping the watershed. It then focuses upon fluvial geomorphology, the science of riverscapes, to
examine processes and resultant landforms. This course teaches field observation skills and field survey
procedures that allow the classification of natural rivers and streams. Finally, it previews methods of
prediction and monitoring of river channel stability parameters.
