Course information
  • Syllabus   (PDF, posted Mar. 24 2011; correction April 4 2011).  The original syllabus had an error in the time of the final; the correct time is Thursday June 9, 12:30-14:20.
  • Room change for Final.  We will be meeting for the Final on Thursday June 9 12:30-14:20 in CH269.  I think I had the correct time on the original syllabus but it got changed, so the room had to change.   (posted June 9 2011)

Kiger Gorge, which cuts into Steens Mountain in SE Oregon, is a good example of glacial topography.  Note the U-shaped profile of the valley, which is characteristic of glacially-carved valleys and unlike the V-shaped profiles poduced by stream erosion.

Kiger and other features at Steens Mountain indicate that large glaciers were once present in Southeast Oregon, now an arid part of the state.
