GEO 7380 - Solute Transport

Meets with GEO 5380 and 6380; additional work required of graduate students. Overview of the physical, chemical and biological processes influencing subsurface solute transport. Topics include advective-dispersive transport of conservative species, reactive transport theory, transport in fractured porous media, and monitoring methods. Basic principles will be used to evaluate the migration of common industrial contaminants in geologic media; aquifer protection; contaminant monitoring; and remediation. Two lectures weekly.
