Environmental Science (EVSC)
Environmental Science and Policy
101 Field Techniques in Environmental
Geochemistry (2:0:2). Introduction to field techniques used to
observe, measure, sample, and describe surficial geological
material related to preliminary environmental site assessments.
206 Environmental Science II (4:3:1). Investigations
of ecosystem chemistry and population dynamics,
geochemical resource management, chemistry of water and air
pollution, hazardous wastes, and urbanization.
301 Remediation of Groundwater and Soil
Contamination (3:3:0). Prerequisite: CHEM 313, GEOL 306 or
313, or permission of instructor. Analysis of remediation
technologies for groundwater and soil cleanup at
chemically contaminated sites. Emphasis is on assessments of
technology performance and cost effectiveness.
454 Applied Environmental Geochemistry
(3:3:0). Prerequisite: CHEM 313, GEOL 305 or 306, or permission
of instructor. Lectures on the chemistry and geology of
processes and pathways in the environment, including
how geochemical processes operate naturally and how they
have been perturbed by human activities. Courses include
field trips to sites of geochemical interest and/or past and
present environmental contamination.
