Moral of the Day. “Process” occurs when “thresholds” are exceeded in the balance of driving and resisting forces.. Geomorphologic Processes. Objectives. Learn basic concepts of sediment transport and fluvial geomorphology. Understand sediment budgets (sources, sinks, pathways for sediment). Discuss infrastructure and ecosystem response. 1. Motivation. Effect of water on landscape:. Whereas hydrologists are mostly concerned with the movement of water, a common task is to assess the impact of water flow on the transport of materials – sediment and solutes.
