Inorganic Aquatic Geochemistry

Catalog description

Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours. Chemical composition and properties of waters in the near Earth surface environment and their interactions with sedimentary minerals; major topics: thermochemical properties of natural waters, equilibrium and kinetic controlling ion speciation; geochemical processes at mineral surfaces; kinetics of mineral-water interactions; applications to modeling early diagenesis. Prerequisite: Approval of instructor.
