Course covers the theory and applications of tectonic geomorphology. Topics include the use of fluvial terraces and other geomorphic markers to map uplift, methods of dating surfaces and landscapes, topographic evolution over active structures and landscape evolution of active mountain ranges. Methods include field mapping, DEM analysis, and computer modeling.

Structure, evolution, and dynamics of tectonic systems across divergent, convergent, strike-slip, and intraplate settings. Emphasizes integration of geological and geophysical observations to understand lithosphere-scale deformation, plate-boundary architecture, and links among tectonics, topography, and surface processes, with comparative examples from other planetary bodies.
