An introduction to contaminant transport processes in porous media with a focus on key processes and the related chemical, physical and hydraulic properties of soils. The transport and attenuation processes for the case of saturated, homogeneous and unsaturated soils are reviewed and the governing equations are derived. Special conditions such as fractured or structured soils, unsaturated soils, and multiphase transport and partitioning, are also discussed at length. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): CE 319 or GEOE 375 or SLSC 322 or equivalent.
