ENVS562 - Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry
Course ID
032365
Course Description
Introduction to the principal chemical constituents and processes occurring in soils and sediments. The objective of the course is to provide students with a conceptual framework for understanding chemical reactions in heterogeneous natural systems. Applications to biogeochemistry and environmental quality will be presented, but fundamental principles will be emphasized. A general chemistry text is a useful additional reference, and it should be consulted for questions regarding concepts that may not be fully reviewed in lecture or the required text. Graduate-level requirements include a term paper that involves independent literature research in a course-related subject of the student's choice.
