OSU is offering GEO 487, Introduction to Hydrogeology, online this spring.
The 4-credit, 10-week course will provide an introduction to the key properties of the subsurface for groundwater, how groundwater moves (Darcy’s Law, the groundwater flow equation), how wells work, how wells can be used to estimate hydraulic conductivity and storage parameters, an introduction to groundwater modeling, and an introduction to contaminant/solute transport in groundwater.
The course is appropriate for those who have been out of school for a while and are interested in learning the fundamentals of groundwater flow that are relevant to industry, consulting, or government agencies. It is perfect for someone who works with groundwater but who has not had a class in the topic. Prerequisites are an introductory course in earth science and two calculus classes. The calculus we use is not difficult, but some basics are used.
To register, go to http://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/soc/start/. OSU classes start at the end of March and run to early June.
