• ATMS 792: Weather and Climate of the Intermountain West

  • Teacher: Michael Kaplan
  • Teacher: Kelly Redmond

  This course is designed to describe the multi-scale weather and climate processes that are dominant in the Intermountain West.  Most notably how large scale motions spanning the spectrum from multi-decadal climate forcing through synoptic time scales interact with and control the complex terrain-induced circulations at the mesoscale.  The primary emphasis will be on scale-interactive processes including hydrodynamic and thermodynamic  regional forcing due to complex terrain.  Long-period climate forcing and extreme local weather events in this region will be described in depth.

  

• GEOL 701j: Fluvial Geomorphology

  • Teacher: Ken Adams

  Fluvial geomorphology encompasses the study of the history, evolution, and processes shaping rivers and streams. This course will be taught from a geologic perspective and will provide multiple field opportunities. Students in this course will acquire the tools and skills necessary to investigate and understand a variety of different fluvial systems.

  

• GEOL 702: Hydrologic Field Methods

  • Teacher: Rick Susfalk
  • Teacher: Scott Tyler

  Students in this class will learn the following major components of field methods in Hydrologic Sciences: 1) Analysis and interpretation of ground water levels, ground water flow direction and ground water chemistry; 2) Analysis methods of pumping tests in multiple aquifer systems; 3) Skills related to remote data acquisition and interpretation of hydrometeorological data; 4) Use of new methods to assess groundwater-surface water interactions; 5) Surface water gauging and interpretation of stream and precipitation data; 6) Operation, maintenance, and analysis of data from surface water quality sensors.
