CEE 629: Special Topics in Environmental Engineering: Reactive Processes for Sustainable Energy and Resource Recovery
This course aims to provide fundamental insights into the reactive processes related to the recovery of subsurface hydrocarbon resources, acid and greenhouse gas capture, utilization, and storage mechanisms, sustainable recovery of high-value materials from low-value substrates, and integration of valorized materials from energy and resource generating processes back into the environment. These applications will be discussed in the context of reaction kinetics and mass transfer at gas-solid and gas-liquid-solid interfaces.

CEE 700: Chemistry of Natural Waters
This course will address the major chemical properties of natural waters such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater. We will apply the fundamentals of aquatic chemistry, hydrology, and microbiology to better understand biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and trace elements. The course will investigate the impacts of chemical processes and living organisms on elemental cycling in aquatic systems, with particular attention paid to anthropogenic influences.
