Catalog description

Prerequisite: GEO 1103 , GEO 1111 , GEO 3373 , GEO 4203 , CHE 1103 , CHE 1121 , and MAT 1093 . In addition to the development of conceptual models, this course uses hands-on practice using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, several open-source geochemical modeling programs (e.g., PHREEQC, Visual MINTEQ), as well as a commercially available Geochemist’s Workbench program that is used over 1,000 universities and research facilities worldwide. Examples of topics covered in this course include microbial activity, surface chemistry, and redox chemistry within reaction models. This course is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of geochemistry, environmental engineering, contaminant hydrology, geomicrobiology, and numerical modeling. Generally offered Spring. This course has Differential Tuition. Course Fee: GS01 $90.
