Environmental Geochemistry. ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

Prerequisite(s): GEO 1010 , ( MATH 1050 or MATH 1055 ), CHEM 1210 , University Advanced Standing Introduces low temperature, environmental geochemistry with a focus on the use of quantitative measures to understand surficial geologic processes. Includes equilibrium thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions, aqueous solutions, sorption and complexation, oxidation-reduction reactions, and the chemistry of the continental, marine, and atmospheric environments. Incorporates numerous examples to demonstrate how the conceptual framework can be applied in solving practical problems.
