Course detail: GEOL 755: Site Assessment Environmental Geology
Description:
This non-credit course encompasses both the academic and applied aspects of environmental geology. The student is presented with the historical, regulatory and risk characteristics of environmental issues as well as specific geologic principles such as GIS and remote sensing, geophysics, geomorphology and surface and groundwater practices. Site assessment concepts include surface and subsurface sampling, analyses and interpretations, conceptual site models, environmental geologic forensics, and environmental Phase I site assessments (USEPA and ASTM). Environmental geology project management principles and practices are examined in detail. These core aspects of the course form the basic structure in understanding and applying environmental remediation and state-of-the-art/state-of-the-practice processes. Case studies are researched and analyzed for the assessment phase of the program.
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.
