Syllabus/Tutorials:
This course is a general introduction to the physical and chemical principles that govern the interaction of water with the geochemical environment. It includes a study of the chemistry of water, the chemistry of reactions between water and other substances, thermodynamics, water-rock interactions, gas-water-rock interactions, geochemical models and applications. Laboratory experiments are used to develop a working understanding of the principles, concepts and practices of aqueous geochemistry.
Geochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the chemical processes that occur in nature and the interpretation of those processes in terms of the composition of natural materials and environmental processes. The chemistry of groundwater has a significant influence on the fate of contaminants, and also the fate of nutrients, minerals and the biological processes that occur in the subsurface. Ongoing research in the laboratory involves characterizing of geochemical processes that occur in the environment. This includes the study of mineral-water interactions that have an impact on groundwater chemistry, the study of trace element diffusion, chemical reaction kinetics and transport processes, the study of the isotopic composition of groundwater to determine source and processes that control the evolution of the water systems, and the use of geochemical techniques for the study of microbial processes in the environment.
The goal of my research is to understand the kinetics and mechanisms of migration of CO2 in deep saline aquifers. A major problem in this area is that the problem is different from the more traditional problem of field scale CO2 migration in unsaturated and saturated soils. We are also interested in chemical reactions occurring at the water-rock interface. These reactions are of importance in a number of applications, including CO2 sequestration, nuclear waste remediation and bioremediation. In addition, CO2 is often considered as a potential tracer for the vertical migration of fluids in geologic media, and the migration of produced brines in deep saline aquifers.
The MATLAB environment is based on the MathWorks MATLABĀ® Compiler, or MMC, which is a proprietary language developed by MathWorks to facilitate the building of applications. MMC understands the MATLAB language and various task APIs and provides efficient intermediate language compilers for compiling functions and scripts.
The MATLABĀ® Engine is the core of the MATLAB product. It compiles, executes, and interprets MATLAB scripts and programs, as well as runs the M-files and M-links created by the MMC. It also allows the exchange of data between MATLAB applications, the MathWorks M-files and M-links, and other programming languages, including C, C++, and Visual Basic. 827ec27edc
