Geomorphology classes, Fall 2008

GLG362/598 Geomorphology

Geomorphology seminar Fall 2008

We will read, discuss, and dissect published papers.
Encouragement from Arjun and Ramon.
This term's' theme will be "Classic, Seminal" papers in Geomorphology. Not just old papers, not just good, old papers -- but ones that are still relevant and thought-provoking today, and ones that in some key way allow us to trace how the science of geomorphology has advanced. Arjun, Mark, Ramon and Kelin welcome any and all input and suggestions on papers that we should read and discuss that fit this mold.
