CHEM3040 Ecochemistry

Later Year Course

Offered By Research School of Chemistry
Academic Career Undergraduate
Course Subject Chemistry
Offered in CHEM3040 will not be offered in 2010
Unit Value 6 units
Course Description This course builds on the basic chemical principals introduced in the second year unit environmental chemistry. The  chemical concepts underlying key Australian  complex environmental problems are examined. Emphasis is given to developing an understanding of the cycling of chemical species in water, soil and air, their sources, reactions, effects and fate as well as the influence of human activity upon these processes. Particular emphasis is given to developing skills in synthesising  disparate information from the published literature into conceptual models, a key tool used by practising environmental chemists.    Problems associated with devising a sampling program to investigate environmental chemical problems will also be explored.
