Learning Outcomes

  • summarize important hydrological processes and how they are observed by engaging in field labs, completing lab assignments, and answering integrative questions on exams.
  • apply mathematical representation of hydrological processes to make predictions through data-analysis labs and answering questions on exams.
  • explain observation techniques, their applications, and their limitations through engaging in lecture and lab materials.
  • infer the hydrological functioning of small watersheds from qualitative descriptions of settings or through interpretation of hydrological data.
