Short description
This course is designed to provide an introduction to hydrogeology and oceanography for all Earth Science students at ETH. It provides an overview of the physical controls on water flow in streams, aquifers, and the oceans. It also deals with the basics of groundwater chemistry, biogeochemical cycling in the oceans, the role of the oceans as carbon reservoirs and their dynamic redox state.

Geofluids (MSc level)
X.‑Z. Kong, A. Ebigbo, A. Moreira Mulin Leal, 651-4240-00
GEG-instructors involved: X.‑Z. Kong, A. Ebigbo, A. Moreira Mulin Leal
Short description
GEG-instructors involved: X.‑Z. Kong, A. Ebigbo, A. Moreira Mulin Leal
Short description
This course presents advanced topics of single and multiphase fluid flow, heat transfer, reactive transport, and geochemical reactions in the subsurface. Emphasis is on the understanding of the underlying governing equations of each physical and chemical process, and its relevance to applications, e.g., groundwater management, geothermal energy, CO2 storage, waste disposal, and oil/gas production.
