Geography 306: Geomorphology: Earth Surface Processes and Landforms introduces geomorphology, the study of the morphology of landforms and processes operating at the earth’s surface. This course will help students to develop an understanding of how different processes shape landforms and landscapes, and their evolution through time and space in different contexts.
Geography 322 will appeal to those students whose vocation or interests involve any aspect of the physical environment of the earth's surface or near-surface. Remote sensing involves gathering information about the earth's surface remotely, and generally encompasses acquiring this data from aircraft or satellites. Remote sensing is very much an interdisciplinary area of scientific investigation, and relies in large part on knowledge of physics, mathematics, chemistry, and geography.
Geography 365: Atmosphere, Weather, and Climate introduces the physical and processes that govern the earth's atmosphere, the nature of weather and climate, the formation of weather systems, and important aspects of weather monitoring, analysis, and forecasting.
