Material Detail

This course targets graduate students from various disciplines with interests in water-rock-soil-microbe interactions and biogeochemical and hydrological processes in the natural environment. This includes, for example, environmental engineering, geosciences, agricultural engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, petroleum and natural gas engineering, and applied mathematics. The course teaches fundamental concepts that are important in understanding water chemistry and reactive transport processes, as well as their quantitative representations and applications. Covered topics include aqueous biogeochemical thermodynamics and kinetics, water flow and chemical transport, and reactive transport coupling. Depending on the students’ interests, the course will discuss general principles of biogeochemical and flow process coupling  in understanding and quantifying water quality, chemical weathering, and environmental (bio)remediation.

The course will be taught through a combination of reading materials that discuss general principles, lightboard videos of  reactive transport equations, zooms videos of class examples, and homework exercises of example files with solutions. The students will learn to set up models, as well as to visualize and interpret the modeling output.
