Week 9: Aeolian Environments

Monday:

Remember that open note, open book, open internet test I mentioned? That was on the docket for Monday. Obviously this post is behind, but he has not finished grading them yet. I did hear from him that he has checked out 2 of 5 answers from my test and so far I have an A. Woot!

Wednesday:

 Normal class discussion. Chapter 6 and these three articles (see the Library for bibliographic information):

• Eolian Environments: Sediment Erosion, Transport, and Deposition / Sand Dunes / Loess and Dust / Stone Pavements / Eolian Erosion / Volcanic Ash (Tephra)
• Sand Dune Morphodynamics and Prehistoric Human Occupation in NW Ireland
• Geoarchaeology of Dissected Loess Uplands in Western Illinois

One day, if I get more free time, I shall discuss what the big picture from the groups of articles actually is. For now, I settle with a simple inventory.
