Environmental Transport Processes

Are you interested in understanding the movement of substances within the environment? This course provides a clear introduction to the fundamental principles governing how chemicals and contaminants spread through our air, water, and soil systems. You will gain a solid understanding of the core concepts that drive environmental transport phenomena, enabling you to analyze and predict the behavior of pollutants in various natural settings. What you'll learn: - Understand the basic physics behind diffusion and advection in environmental media. - Learn to model contaminant transport in groundwater and surface water systems. - Explore the principles of atmospheric dispersion for air pollutants. - Apply mass balance concepts to analyze environmental transport problems. - Grasp the fundamentals of chemical and physical processes affecting contaminant fate. The course begins with essential definitions and theoretical underpinnings before progressing to practical problem-solving techniques. This text-based program is designed for beginners with no prior background in environmental engineering. Start building your knowledge of environmental science today.
