Introduction to Physical Hydrology
Outcome
Utilize Excel to compile data, use appropriate functions, and develop figures for analysis.
Outcome
Integrate streamflow and precipitation data to interpret flow patterns between multiple water years.
Outcome
Develop a watershed boundary and identify drainage paths using the principles of delineation coupled with contour maps and mapping software.
Outcome
Employ the continuity principle in basic flow calculations.
Outcome
Utilize physical models of surface and groundwater to observe, describe, and predict hydrological processes.
Outcome
Observe and describe quantitatively/qualitatively hydrologic features seen around campus and throughout the community.
Outcome
Construct a potentiometric surface map and utilize the map to identify flow paths and connections between groundwater and surface water.
Outcome
Perform a sieve analysis on soil samples and use the results to construct grain size distributions and calculate specific surface area.
Outcome
Analyze in situ and remote sensing data of oceans to identify characteristics of ocean tides and currents.
Outcome
Collect data in a laboratory or field setting, perform data analysis, and write formal reports.
