Courses Taught
- Aqueous Geochemistry (GEOL 528)
This course covers the chemical quality of surface and subsurface-waters, both natural and polluted. The focus is on the chemistry of soil and groundwater. Topics covered include organic contaminants, adsorption, precipitation, oxidation-reduction, heavy metals, contaminant transport, and reaction modeling.
Fundamentals of Air Pollution (GEOL 618)
This course covers aspects of air pollution at the local, regional and global levels. It focuses on the source, fate and transport of air pollutants, and the environmental and health effects of air pollutants. Additional issues covered include air quality criteria, and engineering controls.
