Participation
The project will
consist of a review of current literature (generally 6 or so papers) on a
particular controversial topic in sediment transport (here
are some suggestions). Each person
will present his/her side of the story during a class period at the end of the
course. A SHORT (5-10 pages total)
written summary of your findings will also be required by Mar 14. I am open to any subject that you decide
might be appropriate.
Project schedule:
Mar 11 – Mike

Mar 12 – Dave
and Karen
Mar 13 – Hig and
Noah
Late
policy: 2% docked every business-day (a
day ends at 6pm) past the due date.
