| CE 4/510: Applied Hydrology (4 credits) | This course is designed to teach students the fundamental principles of surface water hydrology and their application in hydrologic design and analysis. It covers the theory, observation, and modeling of physical processes in the land phase of the hydrologic cycle. Key topics include atmospheric radiation, water balance, surface energy balance, precipitation, infiltration, streamflow generation, evapotranspiration, and snowmelt. Additional subjects such as hydrograph analysis, flow routing, remote sensing, and statistical methods for hydrologic engineering projects are also discussed. | Undergrads: Recommended CE 316 + CE 364 Graduates: graduate standing; B+M |
| CE 4/510: Urban Green Infrastructure (4 credits) | This course will cover green infrastructure solutions for stormwater management and cooling in the urban environment. Topics covered will include: modeling stormwater runoff and impacts of green infrastructure, urban heat island and urban heat mitigation strategies, and green roof design and modeling. | Undergrads: CE 361 Graduates: graduate standing; B+M |
| CE 4/587: Aquatic Chemistry (4 credits) | Aqueous chemistry in natural water systems: simple-to-complex acid/base chemistry; titration curves; buffer strength; acid/base chemistry of carbon dioxide in open and closed systems; alkalinity as system variable (blood); mineral dissolution/precipitation (metal carbonates); redox chemistry: pe-pH, redox succession/organic loading/dissolved oxygen loss, nitrate reduction, iron oxide dissolution, hydrogen sulfide production, methane formation. This is the same course as Ch 487 and can be taken oly once for credit | Undergraduate students: CE 371 or Ch 223 Graduate students: graduate standing; B+M |
| CE 5/666: Environmental Data Analysis (4 credits) | Application of probabilistic and statistical models to the description of environmental data with a focus on hydrology and water quality. Graphical and quantitative techniques of exploratory data analysis, selection and fitting of appropriate probability distributions, simple and multiple and multivariate regression and their applications to analysis and modeling, and detection of changes and trends in environmental time series. This is the same course as ESM 566 and may be taken only once for credit.
| Graduate students: graduate standing; B+M |
| CE 5/672: Environmental Fluid Mechanical Transport (4 credits) | Introduction to the basic physical processes which transport pollutants in natural waters (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries); mathematical formulations of heat and mass advective and diffusive transport; descriptions of molecular diffusion, turbulent diffusion, and dispersion. Use of predictive mathematical models as a basis for water and air quality management.
