No longer offered. It was in Waterloo’s course catalog since at least Winter 2020 (as far back as Open Data goes) to Spring 2020. It isn’t in the 2024–25 or later calendars.
In the course catalog from Winter 2020 to Spring 2020; Open Data has no classes for it in that time.
Emphasis on concepts related to fluvial processes, river mechanics, the relationship between environmental change and river regime. Selected topics include fluvial processes and landscape formation, flow and sediment regimes, channel processes, form and behaviour, river response to natural and anthropogenic change, and river management.

stay on top of your stuff, or you can fall behind real quick! try to understand all the concepts rather than memorization.

A very good course with a clear structure and content. I learnt a lot about river processes and mechanisms. This course is NOT a heavy course and you have a chance to take two quizzes during the term with the lowest mark dropped.

Hey but look at GEOG201... there's a long,long question after long question that worth 2x of long question.....”
