Geomorphologists seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do: to understand landform history and dynamics, and predict future changes through a combination of field observation, physical experiment, and numerical modeling . Geomorphology is practiced within geology geodesy geography archaeology , and civil and environmental engineering . Early studies in geomorphology are the foundation for pedology , one of two main branches of soil science Landforms evolve in response to a combination of natural and anthropogenic processes. The landscape is built up through tectonic uplift and volcanism Denudation occurs by erosion and mass wasting , which produces sediment that is transported and deposited elsewhere within the landscape or off the coast. Landscapes are also lowered by subsidence, either due to tectonics or physical changes in underlying sedimentary deposits. These processes are each influenced differently by climate ecology , and human activity.

See Class Notes for course logistics. Introduction: Earth scientists are increasingly called upon to evaluate past, present and future environmental changes on both local and global scales. They can be called upon to predict the long-term stability of hazardous waste sites or to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. Vital to evaluating and predicting environmental change is an understanding of the origin and evolution of topographic features and the role of groundwater in the environment. Geomorphology is concerned with the evolution of landscapes and the earth surface processes that form and modify them. Since the land surface is located at the interface of the earth's lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, geomorphology is necessarily interdisciplinary. In addition to the natural forces modifying landscapes, anthropogenic forces contribute to surface modification and will be included in the study of geomorphology

    Extractions: Back Home Simply put, Geomorphology is the science of landforms. It is the science that provides with a closer look at the Earth's surface and the processes that have formed them. Although Geomorphology is concerned with landforms that currently exist, past landforms and events must be examined in order to fully understand how they came about. Although the term Geomorphology is a relatively new term (1880's), the examination of the forces of nature that have impacted the Earth's surface extends back into the days of early Greek and Roman philosophers such as Aristotle and Seneca. Their writings included ideas on stream erosion, earthquakes and other deformations. Though these early philosophers speculated on the ideas of landscape evolution, these processes and thoughts were not fully examined until just before the 1800's. In 1785, James Hutton began to develop on ideas on the formation of the surface. He argued that the surfaces were formed by slow, but continuous erosive processes instead of great catastrophic events as others have thought. From Hutton's work, came Charles Lyell's principles of Uniformitarianism. These 4 principles are: Uniformity of Law- it is assumed that natural laws are a constant.
