BAE 587
Biogeochemical processes for Ecological engineering and Environmental Sciences
Section: 601

Course Description

The course provides the advanced theoretical knowledge of biogeochemical processes at play in man-made and natural filter systems, such as wetlands and other buffer systems, alleviating common pollutants associated with non-point source pollution, both in rural and suburban watersheds. Particular emphasis is put on the fate of excess nitrogen in these systems. This emphasis serves as a model for describing ecological engineering principles and quantifying processes at play for all pollutants. 20 students max. This course puts together biological, chemical, biochemical, and hydrological knowledge in one ensemble. Minimum proficiency in each of these is necessary to be able to follow the class with ease.
