CHEM 307: Environmental Geochemistry is an advanced course that explores the chemical processes that occur in the Earth’s environment and their impact on natural systems. The course is designed for students with a strong background in chemistry and earth sciences who are interested in understanding the interactions between geological materials, water, air, and living organisms. Through a combination of lectures, laboratory work, and field studies, students will examine the biogeochemical cycles of elements, the chemistry of natural waters, and the effects of human activities on environmental processes. By the end of CHEM 307, students will have gained valuable insights into the behavior of elements in the environment and their role in shaping the Earth’s ecosystems.
