Overall
Course Objective |
To provide an overview, at the senior undergraduate/graduate level, of the
use of chemical principles to understand the geochemistry of natural
waters and anthropogenic effects on these waters. Emphasis will be on
quantitative problem-solving. For the purpose of this class, "natural
waters" includes groundwater, river and lake water, and seawater. |

| Recommended
Background Preparation |
| The
minimum expected background preparation is a full year of
college-level Chemistry and/or
Geochemistry. Familiarity with college-level Algebra is also expected. |

NOTE: The number for this class changed in 2004. The old
course number was GEOL 468/568. You may still see the old course
number on Lecture material, homework. Also, GEOL464/564 is
cross-listed as HYDR 464/564. These are the same course; you can
register under either number.
