An introduction to the principles of geomorphology relevant to site investigation and analysis for Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering. An emphasis is made on the evaluation of terrain features using analog and digital imagery using traditional and digital (GIS) methods and on terrain analysis using computational methods, generation of surface models from LiDAR and imagery, and integration into simulations. Applications include engineering investigation of geohazards, earth resources and infrastructure engineering. (Lec: 3, Lab: 1, Tut: 0)
