This course is about learning both the concepts and physical processes of water movement as well as the techniques to solve hydrologic problems and analyze hydrologic data. This class has a quantitative component. Covering quantify rates of water exchange between the atmosphere, the ground, and the ocean. The class is structured around the hydrologic cycle, which can be pictured as a set of linked processes that cycle water between the ocean, atmosphere, and land surface. We will examine the individual components of the hydrologic cycle, as well as interactions between these components.
