GEOL 780 - Isotope Hydrology

(3 units)
Introduction to the use of stable and radioactive isotopes to study hydrologic, hydrogeologic and surficial processes; systematics of isotopic systems and environmental applications will be emphasized.

Units of Lecture: 3
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. demonstrate understanding of the theory behind isotopic reactions, the basic equations, and fractionation factors in commonly used environmental isotopic systems including H, O, C, N, S, Sr, and noble gases.
2. use environmental isotopes in geochemical water-rock reaction models.
3. identify and apply different isotopic systems to various hydrologic and hydrogeologic problems.
