• SOIL 5180: Chem/Remediation Enviro Contam

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Trains students in predicting the fate of environmental contaminants (e.g., cadmium, lead, selenium, arsenic and molybdenum) in coal mine spoils and coal combustion solid wastes. Emphasis is placed on chemical speciation, adsorption/desorption, and precipitation/dissolution processes. Mobility of contaminants is predicted using chemical models (MINTEQA2, GEOCHEM, WATEQFC). New approaches for remediation of environmental contaminants are presented. Prerequisites: CHEM 1020 and MATH 2200.

• SOIL 5430: Applied Geostatics

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Designed to provide general geostatistical analyses and their applications for spatial random variables and functions. Topics covered include variogram, cross validation, kriging, cokriging, sampling strategies, and both non-conditional and conditional simulations. Several geostatistics packages are used to analyze real field data and students are encouraged to use their own data for practicing geostatistical applications. Examples are taken from geohydrology, soil science, crop science, mining, and various environmental studies. Cross listed with GEOL/STAT 5430. Prerequisite: STAT 4020.
