| Description | Water covers 71% of the earth and is crucial for our existence. In this course we studied the processes by which water moves through the landscape and atmosphere with a focus on freshwater resources. Areas of focus included hydrologic cycle/water budgets, groundwater hydrology, and issues associated with water quality, quantity and availability. We also discussed methods of communicating science to a variety of audiences. Students explored the completed problem sets and lab exercises, visited local field sites, and worked in teams to collect field data and complete projects. This course was suitable for upper-division students as well as first-year students with basic science background and an interest in water resources. |
