GEO 391 Reactive Flow in Porous Media
(unique 27250)
Reactive flow is a pervasive phenomenon in geosciences that creates patterns at all
length scales that contain information about geologic processes. This course provides
foundation for the subject based on the theory of hyperbolic conservation laws. All
three major reaction phenomena sorption, dissolution/precipitation, and multi-phase
flows with phase change are treated in a unified way. Lectures on general modeling
concepts are complemented with seminar style discussion of research papers. (Spring 2012)

GEO 391 Geodynamics
(unique 27160)
A modern comprehensive introduction to continuum methods of physical modeling for Earth
scientists. The conservation equations are discussed with a view towards modern
computational geosciences. The general theory is specialized to limiting cases of linear
elasticity and viscous flow as well as elastic plates and lubrication flows. Simplified
geodynamic models are analyzed to provide physical insight and complemented with finite
element analysis. (Spring 2013)

GEO 346C Introduction to Hydrogeology
(unique 26870)
An introduction to physical and chemical hydrogeology for geologists and environmental
scientists. Emphasis on basic principles groundwater flow, the dynamic response of wells,
principles of aqueous chemistry and contaminant transport.
