Marcantonio Isotope Geochemistry Group
Graduate Courses
GEOL 640/WMHS 640 Geochemistry of Natural Fresh Waters
Credits 3
Chemistry of aqueous solutions; weathering/redox reactions and controls on fresh waters; natural and anthropogenic factors affecting major, minor, and trace elements in fresh waters; evaluation of fresh water composition; application of water-quality measurements to quantitative hydrology.
GEOL 647 Radiogenic Isotope Geology

Undergraduate Courses
GEOL 101 Principles of Geology
Credits 3
Physical and chemical nature of the Earth and dynamic processes that shape it; plate tectonics, Earth's interior, materials it is made of, age and evolution, earthquakes, volcanism, erosion and deposition; introduces physical and chemical principles applied to the Earth.
GEOL 311 Principles of Geological Writing
Credit 1
Principles of writing for geological reports; format and style for abstracts, grant proposals, journal manuscripts and industry reports; evaluating written reports for revision and editing; using proper referencing and citation style; methods of maintaining clarity in documents; using web tools for geological communication.
GEOL 451 Introduction to Geochemistry
Credits 3
