GEO 430 - Geochemistry
Credits: 4
An examination of the chemical character and behavior of the near-surface environment. Students study analytical methods to characterize the chemistry of precipitation, surface/ground water, soils, and rocks. We examine the dominant chemical reactions between gas, liquid and solid phases on Earth and identify the products of these reactions. Course material is examined in the context of global geochemical cycling. Laboratory work, field work, or recitation, one period.
Prerequisite: CHEM 120 , and GEO 250 are strongly recommended.
Distribution Requirements: QR, SP.
