MECHANICS OF SEDIMENT TRANSPORT

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Upper-Level

Evaluation of sedimentary transport dynamics: physical interaction between fluid flow and sediment mobility, from grain to bedform scale; exploration of environments including rivers, estuaries, deltas, coastlines, and deserts. Examination of sediment transport for geology, environmental, and engineering applications; formation of diagnostic sedimentary features recognized in the stratigraphic record. Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: EEPS 627 . Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for EEPS 427 if student has credit for EEPS 627 /ESCI 435/ESCI 635.
