GEOL 3953 Topics in Geochemistry: Naturally Occurring Isotopic Tracers

Subject: GEOL
Catalog Number: 3953
Number of Credits: 3

This course will focus on the application of novel techniques, including isotopic tracers, to characterize water-rock interactions and identify and quantify natural and anthropogenic inputs to soil, surface waters and groundwater. Examples of topics that may be covered include interactions of subsurface sedimentary rocks with brine, AMD and CO2-enriched groundwater, and in situ weathering vs. eolian inputs to soil. The course will involve readings from the literature and student-led discussions.Offered Occasionally. Lecture, 3 hours.
