Advanced Principles of Groundwater Flow

3 credits

The course will cover the principles of groundwater flow, properties of aquifers, geology of groundwater occurrence, and regional groundwater flow with examples from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in parallel to ESC 476. Advanced readings will focus on issues surrounding more complex groundwater flow problems, contaminant hydrogeology, and the effects of climate change on groundwater systems. *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ESC 890AD, GEOL 890AD, ESC 800AQ, ESC 476, or GEOL 476.*
