GEOL-4330 (3) Cosmochemistry

Investigates chemical and isotopic data to understand the composition of the solar system: emphasis on the physical conditions in various objects, time scales for change, chemical and nuclear processes leading to change, observational constraints, and various models that attempt to describe the chemical state and history of cosmological objects in general and the early solar system in particular. Department enforced restriction, upper-division undergraduate or graduate standing in physical science. Department enforced prereq., upper-division undergraduate chemistry or physics or math courses. Same as GEOL 5330 and ASTR 4330.
