Review and discussion of current research in hydrogeology, environmental soil and water sampling, groundwater chemistry, analytical and numerical modeling, isotope hydrology, fluid flow in fractured rock, surface and borehole geophysics, geostatistics, environmental monitoring and remediation, and related topics. Prerequisite: at least one 500-level course in hydrogeology. Credit, 1.

Current work and publications in glaciology, glacial geology, and related aspects of Quaternary history. Studies of related fields, such as archaeology, early man, geochronology, palynology, plant geography, and paleontology.

This seminar explores the skills, resources and habits that help Geosciences graduate students to succeed in graduate school and in their careers beyond UMass Geosciences. Topics may vary by student interest and can include, scientific and professional ethics of geosciences research, networking, resolving conflict, preparing proposals, non-technical skills, job applications.

Results of new research by students, faculty, and visitors.

The impacts of anthropogenic climate change are clearly visible in the changes that are occurring worldwide in the earth's cryosphere (snow, sea and lake ice, glaciers, ice sheets and permafrost). This webinar will bring outstanding speakers from North America, Europe and elsewhere to provide an up-to-date perspective on changes in the cryosphere and their consequences. Each week, speakers will provide a related research paper for participants to read, expanding on the topic that they will talk about.

With lab. Basic principles of theoretical and practical hydrogeology. Topics include the hydrologic cycle, principles of groundwater flow, groundwater hydraulics, occurrence of groundwater in geologic materials, aquifer analysis, field methods, introduction to groundwater modeling, and chemistry of groundwater. Prerequisite: one year of geology; introductory calculus course recommended.
