Course detail: GEOL 751 / CE 752: Physical Hydrogeology
Description:
This non-credit course focuses on the study of fluid flow in subsurface hydrologic systems as well as investigation of the ground water environment including porosity, and hydraulic conductivity and their relationship to typical geologic materials. Students will examine Darcy's law and the continuity equation leading to the general flow equations. Students will use typical hydraulic testing methods to estimate aquifer parameters in various situations and apply these to water resource problems. Students will also study the basic mechanisms that determine the behavior of typical regional flow systems.
Who Should Attend:
Geologists and engineers who are working professionally in the environmental sector or those seeking to advance their knowledge of the chemical processes in the environment.
Prerequisite:
One year of chemistry, one year of calculus, one year of biology, an introductory course in hydrogeology, or consent of the instructors.
CEUs or PHDs = 45 units:
To earn credit for the course, students are required to attend all class meetings, participate in all discussions, and complete all assignments and quizzes.
Course Accessibility:
Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to participate in University of Kansas educational offerings. If you require a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this course, please email mschulme@ku.edu at least three weeks before the first day of the event.
