Coastal Processes

This course is designed to introduce students to coastal geomorphology, including an address of how coastal features like cliffs, beaches, dunes, spits, estuaries, and deltas have developed over time, and how they continue to change. It is a concepts class, building on material presented in late career undergraduate and graduate training in sedimentary geology (broadly considered). We will examine one, major Holocene terrane in the field: portions of the Mississippi River delta in Louisiana.
