GEOL 4710 - 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: (CHEM 1220 or 1520) and (GEOL 1010 or 2020) and Sr
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
- 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.
