Introduction to the principles of groundwater storage, flow and recovery
Application of hydrological and geological principles to the exploration and utilisation of groundwater resources in Australia
Hydrogeological modelling
Environmental Geochemistry
Basic principles of aqueous geochemistry
pH buffering
redox processes in surface waters
Environmental impacts of mining
acid drainage monitoring and remediation techniques
Environmental Geophysics
Application of geophysical techniques (e.g., resistivity, electromagnetics, ground penetrating radar, etc.) to environmental issues such as saline groundwater and acid drainage
Excursion
A three day excursion to the West Coast of Tasmania will review the impact of mining at Mt Lyell on the receiving environment, and will examine the impact of mine wastes on the King and Queen River systems and other selected West coast localities. The excursion runs in the mid-semester break.
