GEOL 5710 - Advanced Environmental Geology Covers the conceptual basis for understanding transport and reaction processes that govern change in many environmental systems. Emphasizes processes occurring at the three major environmental interfaces: air and water, water and the adjoining earthen material, and air and soil. Includes chemical and thermal equilibrium, chemical transport, and transport and transfer of energy across the interfaces.
Requisites: Credit Hours: 4 Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken. Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I Learning Outcomes: - Graduate students will write a term paper about a topic assigned by the instructor or a field report about some additional field work assigned only to graduate students.
- Know how the exchange of chemicals between air and soils occurs.
- Know how to solve problems involving transport of chemical species at environmental interfaces.
- Know the chemical and thermal equilibrium, chemical transport, and transfer of energy processes across the environmental interfaces.
- Learn how to solve chemical equilibrium problems at the environmental interfaces: water-air interface, water-sediment interface, air-soil interface, and thermal equilibrium at these interfaces.
- Understand diffusive and turbulent mass transfer at environmental interfaces.
- Understand the chemical exchange of gases and liquids from aerated basins and rivers.
- Understand the exchange of chemicals between water and adjoining earthen materials.
- Understand the physical and chemical processes occurring at the three major environmental interfaces: air and water, water and the adjoining earthen material, and air and soil.
