ENVG 60370: Environmental Mineralogy
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
This course explores the chemistry and structures of minerals with emphasis on environmental and technological issues. Topics of environmental significance include the disposal of spent nuclear fuel, contamination of soils with heavy metals, and the remediation of mine tailings. Emphasis will be on the mineralogy of uranium, lead, mercury, iodine, selenium and tellurium. Technological aspects of minerals, such as the use of zeolites and clay minerals as molecular sieves and as waste containment vessels will be addressed.

ENVG 60390: Physical Volcanology
2.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
This course is an introduction to volcanoes, and includes the links between volcanoes and their tectonic and geophsyical setting, the types of volcanic edifices, classic eruption styles and deposits, volcanoes and their eruption products as landforms, and comparisons to planetary volcanism. Class will meet once a week for an hour in the Fall for reading and discussion (1 credit) then have a week long field trip to Hawaii just before the start of the Spring semester (1 credit), and would have a research paper due spring semester (1 credit). Tentative travel dates are January 6-13, 2008.

ENVG 60480: Chemistry of Lanthanides and Actinides
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
This course will cover a wide variety of topics involving the chemistry of the f-block elements. Topics will include periodic trends, aqueous and environmental chemistry, solid-state chemistry, and physical properties. The course will begin with a brief history of the discovery of these elements. The fundamental knowledge gained early in the course will be applied to the critical problems of nuclear energy production and waste remediation. This will be a primary literature-based course.

ENVG 60490: Inorganic Geochemistry of Lanthanides and Actinides
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
A comparative course in lanthanide-actinide inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on relevant questions associated with energy production and environmental contamination. The focus will be on the impact of the f-electron configuration on properties such as valence stabilities, redox behavior and optical and magnetic properties. The application of modern analytical techniques to these problems will be highlighted including synchrotron-based spectroscopies including XANES and EXAFS as well as scattering studies such as HEXS, SAXS, and reflectivity. The importance of complementary techniques including laser studies will also be included.

ENVG 60500: ICP-MS Analytical Tech
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
Students are introduced to the analytical techniques of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) and -atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The first half of the course covers the theory of ICP-MS and ICP-AES as well as specialized sample introduction techniques. Three weeks are spent in the lab learning machine tuning/setup techniques, ICP-MS and ICP-AES software, and sample preparation/calibration protocols. The last third of the course is spent conducting independent projects. Graduate students are strongly advised to make this project related to their research and senior undergraduates are encouraged to choose a project which will help in the workplace or in graduate school.

ENVG 60547: Geodynamics
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
This course applies continuum physics to geological problems, beginning with plate tectonics, progressing into the study of stress and strain in geological strata from earth processes. Large scale problems (frictional heating on faults, flow through volcanic pipes, mantle convection) are examined by applying principles from heat transfer, faulting and fluid mechanics.
