Credits: 3.0Lecture: 3.0Lab: 0.0This course is an introduction to the ocean sciences, with particular focus on the role of the ocean in the geological, biological, chemical, physical, climatic, and human aspects of the Earth system. The class covers also interdisciplinary aspects of oceanography like El Niño, Global Warming, The Carbon Cycle, Iron and Biogeochemical Cycles, Life in the Deep Ocean, Hydrothermal Vents, Oceanography from Space, Deep Ocean Explorations.
Research Topics: GeochemistryEAS6125 - Water Quality Modeling
Syllabus: Click hereCredits: 3.0Lecture: 3.0
Prerequisites: EAS3620 or EAS 6214 or CEE 6313 and EAS 3603 or CHEM 3411The focus of this course is to gain hands-on experience inn modeling using the geochemical software packages commonly found in the environmental consulting industry. In addition to becoming familiar with these software packages, students will gain a better understanding of the governing geochemical principles pertaining to the movement and transformation of contaminants as well as other species in the subsurface through a series of applied case studies. The regulatory environment in which environmental consulting is done and implications for society are discussed as well.
Research Topics: GeochemistryEAS6136 - Paleoclimatology and Paleooceanography
