Hydrogeochemistry
Hours
3.0 Credit, 3 Lecture, 1 Lab
Nature and origin of solutes and isotopes in groundwater systems. Applying geochemistry to evaluation of groundwater recharge conditions and flow patterns.
Theoretical Background
Develop an in-depth understanding of the theoretical and mathematical basis of applied inorganic and isotopic chemistry to the evaluation of groundwater geochemical evolution
Applied technology
Develop a working use of the methods for evaluating the geochemical evolution of groundwater systems in a variety of geologic terrains using graphical and computed based techniques.
Develop problem solving techniques
Enhance the ability to solve problems by analyzing real world data sets(including a final project) ,some of which do not have a unique solution.
Writing Skills
Become better science writers by week practice and completion of the final project.
