Physical Geography Laboratory Manual, 13th Edition, is a laboratory manual by Darrel Hess prepared to accompany McKnight's Physical Geography: A Landscape Appreciation or support any physical geography curriculum. The manual provides flexible exercises of varying lengths requiring diverse skill sets.
Core areas of study encompass fundamental mapping skills, atmospheric and weather dynamics, and geomorphic systems. Students gain practice working with geographic tools such as U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps.
The 2022 edition introduced dedicated labs on groundwater and on GIS and remote sensing, along with pre- and post-lab assessments for each exercise.
