GEOL 462 - Environmental Aqueous Geochemistry

3 Credit Hours
A survey of fundamental geochemical principles as applied to the fate and transport of inorganic and organic constituents in natural waters. Topics include thermodynamics, activity-concentration relations, mineral solubility and stability, chemical speciation and redox state of natural waters, and water-rock-biota interactions. Course will emphasize geochemical modeling to test hypotheses, explore assumptions, approximations, and equilibria in natural geochemical systems.

Credit Restriction: Students cannot receive credit for both 462 and 562.
(DE) Prerequisite(s): Chemistry 130 and Mathematics 141, 147, or 151, or consent of instructor.
Recommended Background: 310, and completion of or concurrent enrollment in 330 or 340.
