Coastal Geomorphology and GIS Applications

4 credits

Students will develop a broad understanding of the morphological features that are identified in coastal systems, and the short- and long-term processes that shape them through time. Students will become familiar with GIS applications, terminology, approaches, and methodologies used in coastal geomorphological research, which are relevant for today’s study of climate and environmental change with a focus on coastal sedimentary environments from ancient times until today. Prerequisites: upper-division standing.
