CE 6500 - Chemical Fate and Transport in the Environment
Physical processes controlling the fate and transport of pollutants in surface water soils. Processes studied include advection, diffusion, sorption, Henry’s law, and abiotic transformations. Govering mathematical equations will be derived and several modeling packages utilized.
