Academic Year 2005/2006

Environmental Geochemistry Laboratory
E&ES 281 FA

This course will supplement E&ES 280 Environmental Geochemistry by providing students with a "hands on" experience of the concepts taught in E&ES 280. The course will emphasize the field collection, chemical analysis, and data analysis of environmental water, air, and rock samples. Field areas will include terrestrial soils and groundwaters, estuarine environments, and marine water and sediments. Students will learn a variety of geochemical analytical techniques and work on individual and group projects. Grades are based on the quality of written reports and conceptual understanding of laboratory concepts. The Fall 2005 course is scheduled to focus on the generation of methane gas in a closed landfill in the North End of Middletown as part of a Service Learning course.
