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.
