GEOS-4430/5310: Introduction to Hydrogeology
Dr. Tom Brikowski, brikowi@utdallas.edu

This course introduces the principles of fluid migration in the earth's crust. Topics include observation and quantification of the water cycle, including ground and surface water flow; regional flow, flow nets, Darcy's Law, well testing, water quality and contaminant transport. The course is intended to provide the basic background required for study of or employment in hydrogeology, and in particular much of the background currently needed for the ASBOG Professional Geologist Licensing Exam . GEOS 4430 fulfills one of the breadth requirements for the B.S. Geology degree.

Class meets TR 10-11:30 am in FN 2.104 beginning Aug. 20th, 10:00am, UTD Call Number 10121 (GEOS 4430) and 10124(GEOS 5310).
