May be repeated for credit. GEO 669 Carbonate Depositional Environments. Study of modern and ancient carbonate depositional systems, with emphasis on facies analysis and depositional modeling. GEO 673 Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry. Advanced treatment of the topics of low-temperature aqueous geochemistry important for understanding inorganic processes controlling the chemical quality of surface and subsurface waters.
Emphasis is on solving problems in environmental geochemistry.
Offered alternate spring semesters. GEO 674 Organic Geochemistry. Study of the distribution, fate, and geochemical interactions of both natural and anthropogenic organic compounds in the environment. GEO 676 Chemical Diagenesis. Study of chemical processes controlling diagenetic changes in carbonate and clastic rocks.
