Overview of course
Lectures. We’ll cover modern surface environments, one by one. Coastal, aeolian, fluvial, volcanic, lacustrine, glacial, carbonate, shallow marine, deep marine
Exercises. ~ 6 exercises in lab run by Aron

Overview of course
Field trips. You will have materials to read and to report on
Student presentations. Week of and after Thanksgiving
Text. Prothero and Schwab (2nd edition). Simple book. Auxiliary reading, I will not lecture from the book. In some case, e.g. Sumatra, I will cover only one eclectic aspect of a topic, so the book will give you a broader overview.
Field trip. 1-day to San Onofre beach on October 16th. 3-day to Mammoth-Mono Basin on Nov 3-5. We will give you a list of materials to bring and a choice of papers to prepare.
