-
3.00 Credits
Active learning course on solid earth geophysics, covering theory and application. Techniques include seismology, GPS, gravity, magnetics, and mineral physics. Application will focus on large-scale tectonics and the Earth's interior, but will also include some exploration geophysics. Prerequisite: MTH 151, 153 or 157; PHY 171 or 181, 183.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces the theory of mass transport in groundwater and soil systems and examines sources, fate and cleanup of groundwater and soil contamination. Chemical reactions and their effects on transport will be examined for both inorganic and organic contaminants. Multiphase flow will also be investigated as will strategies for acquifer and soil remediation. Prerequisite: GLG 408/508, MTH 151, 153, or 157.
-
2.00 Credits
Principles of X-ray diffraction as applied to geological materials. Utilization of powder goniometer and single-crystal cameras and goniometer. Prerequisite: GLG 201 or permission of instructor. 2 Lec 1 Lab. Offered infrequently.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the range of geochemical reactions governing water-rock interaction. Includes discussions of thermodynamics, kinetics, acid/base reactions, mineral equilibria, absorption/desorption, oxidation-reduction, organic geochemistry, and geochemical modeling. Prerequisite: GLG 211 or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamentals of the theory of plate tectonics and its applications to regional geology. Physical processes and kinematics of plate motions, geology and geophysics of modern and ancient plate boundaries, and plate tectonic evolution of major orogenic belts examined. Prerequisite: GLG 322, 357, or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on applications of isotopes to environmental processes. Topics include introduction to environmental isotopes and basics of isotope fractionation, isotopes used as tracers in the hydrological cycle to identify and quantify reaction pathways for both clean and contaminated landscapes, dating of modern and paleo-groundwaters. The emphasis is given to the role of isotopes to trace sources, reactions and pathways of various contaminants in the environment. Prerequisites: GLG 211 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Geochemical evolution of the Earth. Formation and differentiation of the Earth, composition of the core, mantle and crust, mass fluxes between major Earth reservoirs. Prerequisites: GLG 527 or permission of instructor. Offered alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of a wide variety of recently developed non-traditional stable and radiogenic isotope systems to geochemical and cosmochemical problems. Prerequisite(s): GLG 211, GLG 357, GLG 427/527 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the structure, composition, and reactivity of crystalline surfaces in aqueous environments. Prerequisites: GLG 201, CHM 137 or 141 and permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
An evaluation of the geodynamic, structural, and sedimentary processes associated with extensional deformation of the Earth's crust and lithosphere. Prerequisites: Graduate standing or permission of instructor.
