MECHANICS OF SEDIMENT TRANSPORT

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

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 427 . Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for EEPS 627 if student has credit for EEPS 427 /ESCI 435/ESCI 635.
