This course addresses basic questions of how watersheds function at the plot-hillslope-catchment scale, such as: 'Where does water go when it rains?', 'How long does it reside in the watershed?', and 'What pathway does it take to the stream channel?' Materials include a series of benchmark papers and other textual resources, and a series of video lectures and virtual field trips.

tested
for
use
in
higher
education
institutions
and
field
facilities
in
coastal
areas.
The
course
was
taught
with
subject
matter
of
the
Earth
Systems
sciences,
intentionally
focusing
on
relationships
among
elements
of
the
hydrosphere,
atmosphere,
lithosphere
and
biosphere
of
coastal
and
offshore
areas,
and
driven
by
environmental
questions
