EESC 412-01 Climate Change Persp-Chem Ocean John Kessler TR 12:30PM - 1:45PM
Most introductory courses to chemical oceanography cover a variety of topics that are only related because they are under the broad umbrella of chemical oceanography. Some of these topics include reaction rates, gas solubility and air/sea exchange, carbon dioxide and inorganic carbon chemistry, marine nutrients, organic constituents, and global chemical distributions. Similarly, most discussions of climate change and chemical oceanography only touch on ocean acidification. This course seeks to provide the same broad perspective to conventional chemical oceanography courses but will interweave the unifying theme of climate change into these numerous and diverse topics. Location Gavett Hall Room 310 (TR 12:30PM - 1:45PM)

EESC 457-01 Planetary Impacts: Sudbury as a case study. Miki Nakajima MW 12:30PM - 1:45PM
The Sudbury basin is the second largest basin on Earth and located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, which is approximately 6.5-hour car ride from Rochester, NY. The basin also hosts the largest impact-induced melt sheet on Earth and is the perfect basin to understand formation of such melt sheets, which can be found on Earth, the Moon, and elsewhere. The course includes a field trip, lab work, lectures, numerical modeling, and image analysis. The ultimate goal of this course is to understand the Sudbury impact basin as an analogue site to understand planetary impact events. Field trip participation is required, unless special arrangements are made with the instructor. Location Hylan Building Room 105 (MW 12:30PM - 1:45PM)
EESC 463-01 Introduction to Thermodynamics and Kinetics Dustin Trail MW 10:25AM - 11:40AM
The goal of this course is to provide an overview of the equilibrium and kinetic processes that govern the elemental and isotopic composition of rocks and minerals. The course will be divided into two broadly equal components. In the first part, the fundamentals of thermodynamics, phase diagrams, and selected examples in earth systems will be explored. The second half of the course is devoted to understanding the non-equilibrium case for earth materials; diffusion in minerals and melts is emphasized. Students are expected to have a general knowledge of mineralogy, petrology, and very basic thermodynamics prior to taking the course. Location Hutchison Hall Room 138 (MW 10:25AM - 11:40AM)
