Course Details
• Fundamentals of Contaminant Transport Modeling: An introduction to the principles and concepts of contaminant transport modeling, including the governing equations and key processes such as advection, dispersion, and transformation.
• Numerical Methods for Contaminant Transport Modeling: An overview of the numerical methods commonly used to solve the governing equations for contaminant transport, including finite difference, finite element, and finite volume methods.
• Physical Hydrology and Hydrogeology: A study of the physical processes that control the movement of water and contaminants in groundwater and surface water systems, including aquifer mechanics and hydraulics.
• Contaminant Fate and Transport in Soil: An examination of the processes that control the movement and transformation of contaminants in soil, including sorption, desorption, and biodegradation.
• Contaminant Source Identification and Apportionment: An exploration of the methods used to identify and quantify the sources of contamination in environmental systems, including statistical and probabilistic approaches.
• Data Analysis and Visualization for Contaminant Transport Modeling: A review of the data analysis and visualization techniques used to interpret and communicate the results of contaminant transport models, including geographic information systems (GIS) and data visualization software.
• Regulatory Framework for Contaminant Transport Modeling: An overview of the regulatory framework that governs the use of contaminant transport models in environmental decision-making, including the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
• Case Studies in Contaminant Transport Modeling: An examination of real-world case studies that demonstrate the application of contaminant transport modeling in environmental decision-making, including the remediation of contaminated sites and the management of water resources.
