Fall, 2005
This course is intended to provide a forum for intense student-faculty interaction on topics in Environmental Geosciences, including surface- and ground-water hydrology, reservoir (aquifer) characterization, geochemistry, etc. Topics for discussion will generally focus on current progress, problems and possible solutions regarding participating student's research. If this provides insufficient material, the topic schedule outlined below will be utilized instead. The course meets weekly, Thu. 1:00-2:00pm in FO 2.605. The course is offered pass-fail.
