Changes have been
made in the summary paper turn-in schedule. We are only going
to do three summary papers, and the second is due on Friday, November
9. The third is due Friday, November 30. Finally, the poster is
due on Friday, December 7. I strongly suggest that you use the extra
time that eliminating one of the summary papers provides, to get
on top of the poster. To do well on that major ongoing assignment,
you must display depth of thought, not simply a summary of the
literature or a glitzy presentation of your data.
The assignment page has been updated
as of 10/15. Due dates for all warmups that I handed out today
are listed and tagged with "new" signs. I've removed
the "new" tags from the paper turn-in schedule, as they
remain the same as they have been for the past week or so.
The assignment page has been updated as of 10/1. There are some important changes in the due dates of projects and papers. Be certain to consult the schedule.
The assignment page
has been changed to reflect the September 26 due date for the
grain size project. It was correctly stated in the previous page,
but I hadn't removed the September 14 due date. Sorry for any
confusion.
Your first writing assignment is
due on Monday, September 17. It's a 3-page summary of the video
tape "Flow in Alluvial Channels," which is on reserve
in the library. You are also required to include a summary of
your observations from the September 12 flume lab. Comments on
this lab must be integrated with your comments on the video tape,
to make a coherent paper that flows (LOL!)
Grain size data form from your sieve
analysis of the Jordan Formation is due in class this Friday,
September 7.
Extensive changes have been made to the assignment page. Blue colors indicate field and lab work, red colors represent exams or assignments that are due.

for assistance in the field or lab, or if you have questions about
the lecture material. You should also contact me for assistance.
My office hours are given below, but it's often more convenient
to arrange an appointment. Email is a good way to contact me for
that purpose.
