GEOL 416 Geochemistry
This course samples many aspects of geochemistry including biogeochemical cycles, aqueous geochemistry, carbonate systems (such as surface waters and caves), oxidation-reduction equilibria (such as acid mine drainage), weathering and isotope geochemistry. Emphasis will be placed on the application of thermodynamic principles. Offered alternate years. Prerequisites: MATH 121, CHEM 107, 108, or CHEM 109, or permission of instructor. GEOL 107 or 109 and MATH 233 recommended.
