Fall 2019 - Mechanics Sediment Transport (GEOL-5330-01)
Erosion, transport, and deposition of sediments are examined from a first-principles basis. Physical processes are derived from fluid dynamics, statistical mechanics, and mass conservation. These topics are then used to explore landscape and seascape evolution, morphodynamics, and stratigraphic construction. Prerequisites: GEOL 2100 or equivalent. 9/4/2019 - 12/13/2019, Lecture
