Field Techniques in Hydrogeology EASC 416 (3)
This course is intended to complement the theoretical aspects of hydrogeology by providing students with hands-on experience using hydrogeological equipment, and implementing sampling and testing protocols. The course involves a series of pre-field session assignments consisting of the analysis and interpretation of geophysical, geochemical and surficial geology data, and a week at various field sites in the Metro Vancouver area at which students collect hydrogeological and hydrochemical data. After the field work, students conduct extensive analysis and interpretation of data gathered during the field session, complete exercises, and prepare a written report. The course normally runs for about three weeks following Spring semester final examinations. Prerequisite: EASC 304, EASC 315W or EASC 412. Quantitative.
