Eskers Tarns, tarn lakes and paternoster lakes, kettle lakes Cirques Horns Cols vs arêtes Hanging valleys Glacial headwalls U shaped valleys Drumlins Understand erosional versus depositional glacier features (jagged, mountain glacial forms generally erosional, flatter continental ice sheet forms generally depositional) Fluvial Processes: Understand Manning’s Equation, Continuity equation, Hydraulic Radius, and Stream power. Understand how to use stream cross section data as inputs into these equations Understand how to interpret shear stresses (boundary, critical, etc). Coastal: Understand and be able to discern longshore drift from coastal landforms Wind: Understand thresholds of entrainment, and potential resistance to erosion (i.e. Cementation, vegetation, etc.)
