A defining trai t of mankind is its thirst for k nowledge and its ability to communicate and record its findings Originally those endeavours were directed at the day to day needs of survival.

The Green Mountains extend from Vermont’s northern to southern border, and provide evidence for both pervasive and complex geologic activity. . Objectives. Learn basic concepts of sediment transport and fluvial geomorphology. Understand sediment budgets (sources, sinks, pathways for sediment). Discuss infrastructure and ecosystem response. 1.
