Overview
:This course covers the essential aspects of practical field hydrogeology. The emphasis of is hands-on application of the basic tools of the trade, such as water level measurement in wells, stream gaging, well installation, shallow geophysical methods, and chemical analysis of water. The class meets 5 days/week, usually from 7:30-3:00, with afternoon lectures. Evenings are left open for report writing. Approximately 70% of the course is spent in the field, with the balance made up of lectures and work-sessions.
All students must have completed with a grade of C or better 1) GEO 376K, GEO 391C, or 2) an equivalent course in hydrogeology. Students not meeting these prerequisites must get instructor consent.
