- International Fees
International fees are typically 3.12 times the domestic tuition. Exact cost will be calculated upon completion of registration.
Course Overview
This course provides an overview of limnology. It focuses on specific aspects of theoretical and applied limnology and environmental engineering required to undertake ecological restoration of lakes and reservoirs. The overview lectures discuss lake formation and basin morphometry, stratification and circulation, water chemistry (including nutrient and carbonate chemistry), BOD tests, and hypolimnetic oxygen depletion. Applied aspects of the course include experimentally determining re-aeration rates and sizing of hypolimnetic aeration/oxygenation and destratification systems, calculation of nutrient-loading programs for lake and reservoir enrichment, calculation of heat budgets, and use of nutrient-loading models to assess eutrophication risk. Students design a restoration proposal for a eutrophic winterkill lake.
