Physical Geology - 1303
A study of earth materials (rocks and minerals), gradation (erosion and deposition), diastrophism (earth movements and mountain building), volcanism and earth resources.
 

Environmental Geology - 3323
A study of geological processes that affect and are affected by human activities; emphasizing earth cycles, water resources, waste disposal, energy resources, geology and human health; also including mineral resources, natural hazards, and land use and planning. Prerequisite: GEOL 1303.
 

Inorganic Geochemistry - 5405
The application of chemical principles and fundamental concepts as applied in understanding, predicting and modeling geochemical processes. An introduction to aqueous geochemistry, thermodynamics, isotope geochemistry.

 

Environmental and Aqueous Geochemistry - 5305
The interaction of aqueous solutions with geologic systems, including topics such as carbonate geochemistry, solid/solution interface chemistry, acid-base reactions. Topical studies in the environment: weathering reactions, redox chemistry, acid mine drainage.
