Fluvial Geomorphology Questionnaires
This survey is designed to gather information about three general questions based on three questionnaires:
  I. What courses are or should be included in the training of a professional fluvial geomorphologist (FG)?
  II. What topics are now being taught in FG courses in North America?
  III. In an ideal course, what courses should be included in the training of a professional FG?
The first questionnaire is concerned with the general curriculum of FG at the graduate level.  The second and third questionnaires seek to identify standard material now covered in actual or ideal courses on FG, respectively.

We hope these three questionniares will define the nature of the education that an individual trained in FG should be expected to have.  Our emphasis is on responses in North America, but we welcome other responses.  Please indicate nationality clearly so we can tabulate results and make the appropriate comparisons.

Please fill out as many of  the three questionnaires listed below that you can answer 'Yes' to the criteria; fill out no more than one questionnaire in each category.  Download questionnaires in MS Word (doc) or Rich Text Format (rtf) by clicking on the respective buttons.  You can fill in the forms digitally (preferred) and email them as attachments to AJames@sc.edu, or you may print them, fill them in, and mail them to:  
    Allan James, Geography Dept., Univ. South Carolina, Columibia, SC, 29208, USA.  
Results from this survey may be published and will be released via standard outlets; e.g., the Geomorph List Serve or GSG and QG&G websites.

I. What courses are or should be included in the training of a professional Fluvial Geomorphologist?
If you have FG teaching experience or professional involvement in FG please fill out this form.  This survey addresses what constitutes a balanced course curriculum for someone who is to be considered a specialist in FG at various levels of college and post-bacalaureate education.
