GEY 304 - Geochemistry

Institution:

University of Maine at Farmington

Subject:

Description:

Geochemistry is the application of the principles of chemistry to the solution of geological problems. This course focuses primarily on reactions near the Earth's surface and includes many examples form the carbon cycle. Students develop and interpret stability diagrams that portray various acid-base, gas-aqueous, aqueous-solid, and redox equilibria. They also use dynamical systems software to model reaction kinetics. Students conduct research on problems in environmental science, geochemical cycles, and earth system evolution, and use UMF's X-ray fluorescence facility to analyze their samples. Prerequisite(s): TOne geology course and CHY 141. Once every two years. Credit: 4
