modules

This module will provide students the opportunity to learn about the geochemical, mineralogical, geophysical and remote sensing techniques of mine waste characterisation, the methods used to predict their behaviour in the environment, the character of common mine waste types, and techniques of remediation. Students will be trained to use the geochemical modelling programme PHREEQC. This module is suitable for students studying courses in land and environmental management, geology, mining, engineering, geography and environmental science. It is recommended for interdisciplinary pathways. A basic understanding of chemistry (e.g. at GSCE level) is required, but no formal pre-requisites are needed.
