Specialized Graduate Courses
JGN 2607H Advanced Techniques in Hydrogeology
This course examines methods of investigating groundwater flow and subsurface transport of contaminants. It can be tailored to meet the interests and experience of the student. Basic theory is provided during a series of lectures, normally held on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings at UTSC. There is also a small project component, usually involving chemical speciation or contaminant transport models, applied to a groundwater problem.
Prerequisites: none
Instructor: K.W.F. Howard
ESS2608H Advanced Glacial Sedimentology
GLG3602H Seminars in Geology
This is a term-length course that will usually involve lectures, reading assignments, and classroom discussion focusing on a specific theme not covered in any of the regularly-scheduled courses. The course structure, content and method of evaluation must be approved by the associate chair for graduate studies.
Prerequisites: None
Instructor: Staff
ESS3604H Selected Topics in Geology
This is a term-length course that usually will involve one-to-one discussion between a faculty member and student on reading assignments on a specific theme not covered in any of the regularly-scheduled courses.
