Similar to past Ecogeomorphology classes, this year's Graduate class will study the geology, ecology and management of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Students will be "experts" in their field of study, relaying a topic of interest relevant to river science to their fellow classmates. The class will meet for 3 hours/weekly during the Winter quarter for discussion and will be followed by a private rafting trip through the Grand Canyon during spring break. Enrollment is by instructor consent only and is dependent upon participation in the previous year's Colorado River permiting process.
