4.00 Credits
The course covers the physics of the Earth's interior, including a survey of its evolution, rotation, gravity and tides, seismicity, internal heat, magnetism, and tectonics. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ERTH 1100 or permission of instructor. When Offered: On demand. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the causes, consequences, and uses of vibrations in the Earth. Topics include elastic wave propagation, earthquake source mechanics, seismic risk analysis, exploration seismology, and tomographic imaging. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MATH 1020. When Offered: Spring term on demand. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamentals of aqueous chemistry as applied to the evolution of natural waters. Principles of chemical equilibrium, activity models for solutes, pH as a master variable, concentration and Eh-pH diagrams, mineral solubility, aqueous complexes, ion exchange, and stable isotopes. The carbonate system, weathering reactions, and acid rain are examined in detail. Emphasis is on the chemical reactions that control surface and groundwater evolution in natural and engineered (treatment process) settings. Students learn theory, computation methods, and the use of computer programs for calculation of speciation and mass balance. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: permission of instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Cross Listed: (Cross listed as CHEM 4690 and ENVE 4110. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and either CHEM 4690 or ENVE 4110.) Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Study of hydrologic, geologic, and other factors controlling groundwater flow, occurrence, development, chemistry, and contamination. Groundwater flow theory and aquifer test methods are introduced. Interactions between surface and subsurface hydrologic systems are covered. Some field trips are possible. (Students cannot receive credit for both this course and ERTH 6710.) Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MATH 1020 or equivalent or permission of the instructor. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Study of numerical solutions to the ordinary and partial differential equations of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. Emphasis on modeling methodology and solving applied problems. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: ERTH 4710 or ERTH 6710 or permission of instructor. When Offered: Spring term odd-numbered years. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to analysis and interpretation of spatial data and their presentation on maps (using MapInfo software).
