Post-Course Homework
Teaching bundle: This is a zipped file containing your post-class assignment. It includes the three chapters from the NRCS handbook and worked spreadsheets that do the NRCS worked examples for a threshold channel (Ch. 8) and alluvial channel (Ch. 9) and take them to the next level or two. No, it is not as smooth as a textbook but the spreadsheets are pretty well annotated and you should be able to work through them. Also included is the paper in which we use inverse iSURF to demonstrate that armor layers appear to persist. Also included is a set of lecture notes used for a 1/2 day short course last April at the Federal Interagency Sedimentation Conference. Mostly the same - but there are a few different twists.
