Institution:

Jacksonville University

Subject:

Description:

Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 301, MATH 140, and CHEM 222 or permission of instructor. This course will be an in-depth exploration of the fundamental scientific principles that dictate chemical processes in both natural and disturbed environments, with emphasis on aquatic ecosystems. The exact course content will vary with the skills and interests of the class, as well as on current environmental issues. Topics may include those offered in CHEM 304, but with a much stronger emphasis on the underlying chemical theory. Additional topics may include modeling, mass transport in environmental processes, and kinetics and thermodynamics of environmental processes. The course will consist of classroom lectures, field trips, group activities, and labs. There will be a strong emphasis on individual and class projects that address environmental issues of local concern.
