No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1967–68 to 1973–74; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
An introduction to geochemical processes in the Earth’s Crust with special emphasis on low temperature environments. Fundamental | principles are reviewed and applied to the understanding of sedimentary rocks, the hydrosphere and hydrothermal systems. Prerequisite: first year Chemistry 3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory.
As printed in the 1973–74 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
