Introduction to Physical and Chemical Hydrogeology

Undergraduate course. Content: components of the hydrological cycle and water balance (evaporation, precipitation, transpiration, infiltration, runoff, streamflow); principles of physical hydrogeology (porous media, hydraulic potential and conductivity, flow nets, yield, storage, wells, well capture); basics of chemical hydrogeology (aquatic chemistry, rock-water interactions, redox zonation, groundwater contamination and transport).

Ecohydrology

Graduate and upper-level undergraduate course. Content: Vegetation’s role in the Earth System, especially in the hydrologic cycle. Coupling of land surface energy, water, and carbon balances and the role of soil-plant-atmosphere interactions in them. Plant water and solute uptake, evapotranspiration measurement and modeling, assumptions, applications. Influences of soil-plant-water interactions on landscape patterning, ecology/carbon storage, microclimate, geomorphology.
