Contaminant Fate and Transport

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course focuses on the quantitative analysis of mechanisms that control the fate and transport of contaminants in the environment. The occurrence, movement, and transformation of contaminants in a variety of environmental media, including surface waters, terrestrial environments, and the atmosphere are covered. A 3-d field lab will be held at the beginning of the semester, in which students will gain experience in: (i)sampling environmental media, and (ii)characterizing transport processes in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
