Introduction to Geochemistry

Undergraduate

Introduction to the application of chemical principles to the natural environment. Fundamental concepts in thermodynamics, acid-base equilibria, solubility, reduction-oxidation, organic chemistry, environmental mineralogy, and isotope geochemistry will be discussed in the context of the chemical character of environmental material, and environmental problems. (Prerequisites: CHEM-1100, CHEM- 1110.) (3 lecture and/or tutorial hours per week.)
