Photo © 1999 by Ray Wheeler Geomorphology is the study of the forms of the Earth's surface and of the processes that mold them. More recent geologic features - sand dunes, rivers, soils, lake basins, and alluvial fans, to name a few - are in most cases still undergoing formational processes. The response of these features to recent changes in climate and land use makes geomorphology an important tool for understanding our changing global climate and the effects of our increasingly intensive use of the landscape.

In this class we will explore the physical processes responsible for the continually evolving surficial geology and gain an appreciation for the dynamic nature of Earth’s surface. Through class lectures, discussions, group activities and laboratory and field exercises, we will learn about the historical development of the field, techniques of geomorphic investigation, surficial processes operating in diverse environments and landscapes, and computer and Internet resources for geomorphic research. Finally, through an independent research project or term paper, which will be presented to the class at the end of the semester, each person will have an opportunity to explore in depth a particular facet of geomorphology that he/she finds particularly intriguing. Required Textbook: The text listed below is available in the university bookstore. I will also occasionally assign outside readings which will be made available in the geology department learning center (CHE 326) short-term borrowing and copying. Reading assignments are listed on the course outline that follows - please do the assigned reading

    Extractions: GEOLOGIST QUESTIONS "DIFFERENTIAL EROSION" AT CYDONIA GEOMORPHOLOGY AT CYDONIA By James L. Erjavec (Notes and editing by Stanley V. McDaniel, author of The McDaniel Report) ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James L. Erjavec has an M.S. in geology from The University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, and a B.S. in geology from The Cleveland State University, Cleveland, Ohio. He is a geologist and Computer/Geographic Information System (GIS) Analyst with over 13 years experience in those fields. A specialist in mapping and computer graphics, he has developed an extensive geomorphic feature map of the Cydonia region to assist in the establishment of a geologic baseline for continued studies. The paper presented below is a shortened form of a longer piece titled "A Geologic and Geomorphic Investigative Approach to some of the Enigmatic Cydonia Landforms." It is important to consider Erjavec's paper in relation to NASA's claim that the debated landforms at Cydonia have already been subjected to a thorough scientific study. From Erjavec's discussion it would appear that NASA geomorphologists who maintain that the debated Cydonian objects are simply a result of "differential erosion" have not had the last word on this subject and that there is much to learn.

    Extractions: Sea Level Home Hazards of Sea Level Rise: An Introduction by Stacy Archfield Sea level has fluctuated by an order of 100 meters over the last 18,000 years [Michener et al., 1997]. Global sea level can change due to three factors: 1-Change in the volume of the ocean basins, 2-Expansion or shrinking of ocean water due to changes in climate and 3-Periods of worldwide glacial advance and retreat [Davis, 1997]. Human impact has no control over changing the volume of the ocean basins. However, the greenhouse effect can cause the ocean to gather thermal inertia that will heat the continents and slowly melt the polar ice caps, increasing sea level worldwide [Michener et al., 1997]. The effects of sea level rise will be spatially non-uniform since GIA will cause some areas to uplift and others to subside [Gornitz, 1991]. Furthermore, the characteristics of a given coastline are controlled by many different variables, including interactions between lithology, geomorphology, wave climate, currents and storm frequencies [Gornitz, 1991]. Gornitz defines the following terms to be used in talking about coastal hazard assessments: Gornitz also states "sea level rise is a global-scale, long-term hazard, which may, in the long run, inflict greater damage [to a coastline] than that of a hurricane. Eustatic sea level rise over the next century will be the sum of the individual contributors from thermal expansion of sea water and ice melting from alpine glaciers and the polar ice sheets."

    Introduction to the terminology and major research fields of coastal geomorphology, from the Geological Oceanography Program of the University of Puerto Rico.  
    http://rmocfis.uprm.edu/~morelock/cstln.htm
    
    Extractions: The character of shorelines results from the geological factors that set the stage and the physical processes that script the present story. To understand the development of coastal landforms, we must consider such things as tidal influences, wave climate, rock resistance, shoreline configuration and offshore bathymetry. The coast is a meeting place of energies in which rivers carry sediment to the sea where it is redistributed by marine processes. If the waves and currents cannot keep pace with the sediment supply, then deltas, bars, and other depositional features build the coast seaward. Where marine forces are stronger, the sediments are distributed across the shelf. This chapter attempts to integrate short- and long-term factors into an understanding of why our world's coastlines are the way they are today. Once an overall view has been presented, we discuss the individual environments that are part of today's coastlines ( i.e. , beaches, estuaries). And finally, we discuss the ever-changing coastal landscape, focusing first on natural changes and then on how man fits (or doesn't) into this as either a passive inhabitant or an active player trying to control his surroundings. The world's coastlines are comprised of a variety of complex environments that are controlled by geologic setting, sediment supply and local physical processes. Dividing coastal environments for the sake of discussion is difficult because such features as beaches, dunes, tidal flats, and marshes are often part of a larger system that is best understood in its entirety rather than by examining its components. On the other hand, it is impractical to discuss all possible combinations. As a compromise, the individual components are described, within a discussion of the more important depositional systems that they can make up. It is important to remember that each section of coastline is part of a larger coastal mosaic, the behavior of which is the result of interactions. By necessity, an extensive literature is covered in very few pages. The reader wanting more details is referred especially to the book by Davis

    Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Geomorphology is the study of present-day landforms , including their classification, description, nature, origin, development, and relationships to underlying structures, as well as the history of geologic changes as recorded by these surface features. The term is sometimes restricted to features produced only by erosion and deposition . Although geomorphology tends to focus on terrestrial landforms, the surfaces of the Moon and Mars are now sufficiently well-known for morphological analysis to be applied there as well. Geomorphology is fundamentally inspired by the shapes of the terrain we see every day; the meandering course of a river , the rounded shapes of some hills and the pointed shapes of others, the seemingly-random capes and bays of a coastline . While it is generally accepted that, for instance, water erodes rock over a long period of time, that doesn't answer the question of whether any particular landform was created by water erosion, how long ago, whether wind played a role also, and so forth. Geomorpology delves into these questions in depth, seeking both to explain origins, and so to provide predictive power that can be used in activities such as civil engineering Some geomorphologists identify a taxonomy of landforms, sorted by magnitude:

    Extractions: Click here for Main Index Geological History: Geology and Geomorphology Mars Pathfinder Science Results When the Mars Pathfinder landed and the first close up images of Mars were taken, they revealed a rocky plain, a fifth of which was covered by rocks which appeared to have been deposited and shaped by catastrophic floods. This had been predicted from remote-sensing data and knowledge about the landing site (19.13 degrees north, 33.22 degrees west), which was downstream from the mouth of Ares Vallis in the low area known as Chryse Planitia. In Viking orbiter images, the area appeared analogous to the Channeled Scabland in eastern and central Washington state. This analogy suggests that Ares Vallis formed when hundreds of cubic kilometers of water was catastrophically released, carving the observed channel in a few weeks. The density of impact craters in the region indicates it formed somewhere between 1.8 and 3.5 billion years ago. The top image is a view to the northeast of the lander and is annotated to show the variety of rocks in this landing site and what they tell us. The red arrows point to rounded boulders and rocks thought to have been shaped by the forces of water in flood (rough edges knocked off by the tumbling action of the water). The blue arrows indicate rocks with sharp edges and points, most probably ejected from nearby impact craters and/or ancient volcanic activity. The white areas (of which Scooby Doo is one) are believed to be deposits left behind by evaporating water, or aggregates of materials fused together by the action of water.
