CHM 340 - Aquatic Geochemistry

4 credits (Spring)

Thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical processes controlling the biogeochemical cycling of major and trace elements in freshwater and marine systems. Special emphasis on quantitative modeling of processes occurring at the mineral-water interface (precipitation/dissolution, solute adsorption, oxidation-reduction). Two classes and one laboratory per week.

Prerequisite: CHM 221 and CHM 210 or CHM 363.
