Introduction to engineering geology, hydrogeology and the engineering properties of geomaterials including strength, compressibility and permeability of soils and rocks. Labs, case studies and field trips emphasize slope stability, ground monitoring, instrumentation and the engineering significance of geological processes and geomaterials. Fundamentals of applied geomorphology, site investigation technology, geophysics and airphoto interpretation. Emphasis is placed on the surficial geology of the Canadian Prairies.
