Reactive Earth
Academic Noncredit

This course will consist of an introduction to thermodynamic and geochemical concepts and their application to describe geologic processes and phenomena on and beneath the Earth’s surface. Students will learn fundamental chemical and mathematical approaches to quantitatively describe, interpret and predict a wide range of geochemical processes in Earth systems, and will learn the basic chemical and isotopic characteristics of materials making up the Earth’s lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. Two lectures, one lab weekly.

This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course.

Online book and material fees may be added up until the first week of class. Students may opt out during the first two weeks of class.
