• GEOS 356: Coastal Processes & Geology

  4.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  The study of the origin and evolution of coastal environments from a geological perspective. Emphasis is placed on the quantitative investigation of the dominant processes (waves, tides, and currents) that create and modify these environments, as well as the role of human-induced change. Contemporary issues in coastal geology are explored through primary scientific literature, news media, and laboratory exercises. Includes field trips that may occur on weekends.
