Independent Study A limited number of qualified graduate students will be permitted to pursue independent studies under faculty guidance. May be repeated. Hydrologic Monitoring Field course designed to familiarize the student with measurement of hydrologic variables in surface and ground water situations. River Mechanics Geomorphic principles, erosion and sediment transport problems, sediment transport mechanics in open channels, sediment measurement techniques, sediment sources and yields, control methods, effects of structures on riverine systems, design of hydraulic structures. Advanced Hazardous Waste and Environmental Sampling and Analysis Laboratory and field techniques for the sampling and analysis of hazardous waste.
Lecture covers theory behind techniques.
Advanced Physicochemical Treatment Design Theoretical and experimental examination of physicochemical treatment processes. Discusses design, application, and operational principles associated with gas transfer, coagulation, particle-liquid separation, absorption, water stabilization, chemical precipitation, and disinfection unit processes. Stresses the knowledge of laboratory applications. Advanced Groundwater Topics Review of Darcy's Law for confined and unconfined aquifers, linearization techniques, drawdown computations under varying boundary conditions, solutions to the inverse problem, drainage theory, recharge theory, two-phase flow, succession of steady states modeling, and borehole geophysics. Advanced Biological Treatment Design Theoretical and experimental examination of the fundamental parameters used in selection, design, and operation of biological treatment processes for waters, wastewaters, and hazardous wastes.
