GEOS 6009 - Applications of Chemical Tracers in Hydrology

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: GEOL 1122K (or GEOL 1122 and GEOL 1122L) and MATH 2212, each with a C or higher.
Description
Study of theory and applications of stable-isotopes, radioactive-isotopes, and major ions as tracers of the geographic-source areas, flow pathways, and ages of water within surface and subsurface water bodies. The course includes parallel coverage of hydrological transport theory, including advective-diffusive-dispersive transport theory and its application in conjunction with chemical tracers.
