CE 585
Principles of Surface Water Quality Modeling
Section: 001

Course Description

This course addresses how human inputs affect natural and engineered aquatic systems, through mathematical modeling of system dynamics. Course topics integrate physical, chemical, and biologic processes related to pollutants and lower food-web dynamics. Lectures and assignments cover both theory and application. Applications are relevant to informing management, protection, and restoration of inland and coastal waters.
