The fundamental principles of geology, hydrogeology and chemistry will be presented in terminology that makes it easy to understand… even if your only background is high school chemistry! This course will help you learn how to use this information when evaluating environmental conditions at your site or property.
Discussions will include:
Geology: Geological discussions will include a brief overview of earth processes, rock and mineral identification, sediments, soils, and man-made fill materials, with an emphasis on environmental applications.
Hydrogeology: Students will be presented with the basic concepts of ground water flow, including the water cycle, ground water movement, well construction methods, and ground water supply development and protection.
Chemistry: The general principles of environmental chemistry will be reviewed with an emphasis on natural ground water chemistry, common pollutants, the migration of contaminants through soil and ground water, sampling techniques, analytical methods, and the interpretation of laboratory data.
