CE 6200 - Fate and Transport Modeling of Ecosystems

This is a first course in modeling surface water ecosystems, including watersheds. Water quality problems addressed include eutrophication, fecal coliform, suspended sediments, acidification, and toxic contamination. Ecosystems ranging from watersheds, rivers, reservoirs, estuaries, coastal waters and wetlands will be covered. Using actual field data, students are assigned modeling projects with currently used models for TMDLs (total maximum daily loads). Prerequisite: CE 430 or instructor permission.
