In this introductory course, the interactions of geochemistry (water-rock interaction) and biology in determining pH, oxygen status and ionic strength in water, and their implications will be explored through lecture and laboratory work. Two lectures, one lab (three hours); one term Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1A03 or ISCI 1A24; or registration in Level II or above of an Honours Biology or Chemistry program or a program in the Faculty of Engineering. One of ENVIR SC 1A03, 1B03, 1G03 is strongly recommended.
