Course ID: QW1169 No. Instruction Hours: 40 Course Description: The emphasis of this 5-day course is on basic geomorphic principles needed to understand geomorphic form and process of fluvial systems. Course work is structured into lectures to introduce topics with some problem solving. Topics include an understanding of the drainage basin as functional geomorphic unit; stream equilibrium, stability, and instability; hydraulic geometry; sediment transport and development of river morphology; riparian process and function; and stream classification systems. The course is presented in a framework that allows students from various backgrounds to integrate material appropriate to individual interests or local physiographic environemnts. THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE DATE IS OCTOBER 5, 2007. Registration should be completed in DOILEARN at the following URL: https://doilearn.doi.gov. If you have DOILEARN questions please contact Leigh Healy at oeddoilearn@usgs.gov for assistance. Course Title: Geomorphic Analysis of Fluvial Systems Attendees: This course is intended for all USGS personnel involved in biological, water quality, or hydrological investigations of streams who seek a basic understanding of geomorphic principles of fluvial systems. Attendees should bring calculators for problem solving. Class participation is limited to 30 students. Course Discipline: Water-Quality Courses Prerequisites: None Course Coordinator: Faith Fitzpatrick Course Costs for: USGS: $1760 Non-USGS: $2010 Cancellation: $1685 Additional Information: Carpooling, Lodging, Nominations, and more for Denver Courses.
