3.00 Credits
Geology and hydrologic factors controlling the occurence, movement, quality, recovery and development of water supply and distribution. Problems relating to urbanization of flood plains. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor 3 hrs
-
1.00 Credits
A study of a selected area of the midcontinent U.S. with emphasis on locations to be visited during a three-day field trip (at the student's expense). An opportunity to observe and study physical features and collect materials. Several scheduled one-hour meetings in addition to field trip. Lectures, discussion and reading assignments provide a background to place the area covered by the field trip into the overall geologic framework of the Midcontinent U.S. Descriptive report or written examination. Limited enrollment. Prerequisite: Junior or senior level. Fall. 1 hr
-
3.00 Credits
Basic factors controlling the occurence and flow of ground water, movement of aqueous and non-aqueous phase contaminants, aspects of monitoring well design and sampling, water quality data interpretation and presentation techniques, conceptual hydrogeologic and contaminant transport models. Three hours lecture, discussion and laboratory a week. Prerequisites: GEOLOGY 220, GEOLOGY 312 Offered: On demand Restrictions 325 recommended. 3 hrs
-
3.00 Credits
Distribution, origin and environmental implications of extractable resources including non-metallic deposits, ores, and selected energy resources. Prerequisite: Instructor's permission Offered: On Demand 3 hrs
-
3.00 Credits
Nature sources and characterization of hazardous waste; collection, transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes. Fundamentals of toxicology and risk assessment. Application of geologic principles and methods in the assessments and remediation of abandoned hazardous waste sites and contaminated aquifers. Review of selected case histories. Experts from government and private organizations will be invited to deliver guest lectures. An out-of-town field trip to a hazardous waste site is required. Prerequisites: GEOLOGY 325, GEOLOGY 342, and GEOLOGY 350 or permission of the instructor. 3 hrs
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Individual research and study of a selected topic in geology or earth science. Prerequisites: Approval of instructor and departmental sanction. On demand. 1-3 hrs
-
3.00 Credits
Review of engineering properties of rock and soils. Evaluation of geologic materials for civil engineering construction projects. Techniques of engineering geologic investigations; special problems in urban areas. Data evaluation, analyses, and preparation of engineering geologic reports. Application of geologic factors in design and construction of dams, tunnels, power plants, highways and waste disposal facilities. Review of engineering geologic case histories. A field trip is required. Prerequisite: GEOLOGY 325, GEOLOGY 342, and GEOLOGY 350, and permission of instructor. On demand. 3 hrs
-
40.00 Credits
Overview of federal regulations dealing with hazardous waste management, toxicology, hazard communication, site management, air monitoring, operating procedures, and health and safety. The course includes hands-on training on spill control, equipment use and emergency response. Practical training involves physical stress and participants must be in good physical health. This course satisfies OSHA's 40 hour training requirement for hazardous waste personnel. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor Offered: On demand 2 hrs
-
2.00 Credits
Review of federal regulations governing hazardous waste management, operations procedures, and health and safety issues. Hands-on training on spill control, equipment use, and emergency response will be included. The course satisfies OSHA's 40-hour training requirement for hazardous waste personnel. Practical training involves physical stress and participants must be in good health. Prerequistes: GEOLOGY 302, GEOLOGY / GEOG 335, GEOLOGY 412 or permission of instructor Restrictions: Must be in good health to withstand physical stress during training Offered: Winter 2 hrs
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental theory and near-surface applications of the geophysical methods; (1) seismic refraction, (2) seismic reflection, (3) gravity, and (4) magnetics. Emphasis will be placed on the use of these methods in environmental and engineering investigations, addressing such issues as water resources, contaminant transport, geotechnical properties and archaeological protection. Course will include a field component illustrating application of selected techniques to local environmental problem. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor Offered: On demand 3 hrs
