Additional,
more in-depth work for Field Hydrology (Geol 591 or Geog 591) is necessary to
qualify for graduate credit. This may be fulfilled by
choosing one of the following five options:
1.
Thoroughly demonstrate and teach the use of a hydrological field technique that
will not be covered during the regular part of our
class. The faculty and other students in the course should finish with at least
a nominal level of skill in the technique.
2. Apply
Simon's *Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model* to our
http://www.ars.usda.gov/Research/docs.htm?docid=5044 )
3. Develop
a reasonably complete bibilography on stream
assessment methods. Citations should be annotated and the methods critiqued. Scopus.com would provide a quick and convenient
way to identify the references.
4. Using the data that we collect for Field Hydrology, along with some
of your own, apply the appropriate spreadsheet tools developed by the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources and
5. Propose
and have approved your own idea.
Please let
us know before 1 October what you would like to do. You are welcome to work in
pairs or groups, but if you do, then you will need to define carefully *who
will do what* before you start.
