GEOL 521 Aqueous Geochemistry

Credits: 3

Fundamental geochemical principles and applications for aqueous systems, including water quality, mass transport, weathering, and diagenesis. Topics will include thermodynamics, mineral solubility and stability, chemical speciation and redox state of natural waters, organic geochemistry, and geochemical signatures of past environments. Water quality issues, water budgets, and environmental policy with respect to water will also be examined. Geochemical modeling software will be used in projects.
