BIOGEOCHEMISTRY

Students completing this track will gain knowledge and skills that will allow them to identify, quantify, and ultimately control, the biological, geological and chemical reactive processes of natural and engineered systems affecting contaminant transport in the environment in order to restore/maintain soil and water quality. Entering students should have basic quantitative skills (physics, math and statistics) and completed courses in introductory microbiology, geology
and chemistry. Some of the biogeochemistry courses are:

• Environmental Transformations
• Environmental Microbiology
• Environmental Engineering Chemistry I
• Coastal Pollution and Bioremediation
• Advanced Environmental Engineering Laboratory
• Environmental Engineering Chemistry II
• Environmental Systems Modeling
• Environmental Physico-Chemical Processes
• Environmental Bio-Chemical Processes
• Contaminant Source Remediation
• Advanced Soil Chemistry
• Bioremediation
• Biofilm Engineering
• Radiotracer Applications in Natural Systems
• Transport & Transformation of Air Pollutants
