Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Geology of Illinois - 2 HR Section Info: Through field studies of Illinois, this course explores new research problems featuring glacial and post-glacial deposits. Following a 2-day field trip to northeastern Illinois, we will return to the classroom to discuss the region?s geologic framework and critical environmental issues. A number of current research questions and their proposed resolutions will be evaluated through critical examination of the scientific literature, class presentations, and additional field trips. The final product will be the execution of a group or individual research project and a formal written report of the results. There is one mandatory field trip and $50 field trip fee for students. Standard Letter Grading.

Topics considered range from technical approaches of biostimulation, bioaugmentation and monitored natural attenuation. Also included will be discussions of geophysical methods used for monitoring efficacy of bioremediation processes in the subsurface. Presentations will be assigned in the class based on recent literature. Each student will be expected to give presentations in class and prepare short critiques of the assigned literature.
