Concerned citizens discovered that corrosion control had not been implemented by the city and lead (Pb) was leaching into their water.

Re: ESE-faculty-list Understanding Standing Rock - Keystone Series World Cafe
by Musser, Christal A. 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

ESE Students and Faculty, Standing Rock, and the Dakota access pipeline which is currently being laid under the MIssouri River, has been a controversial project with environmental, social justice, and energy related elements. In an effort to better understand it, you (ESEers) voted to have Standing Rock as this year's topic for the fourth ESE Keystone Series<http://www.purdue.edu/gradschool/ese/keystone/index.html>. We invite you to register<https://goo.gl/forms/egeTzIybx01WaAO53> for both the upcoming events of the Keystone series; 1. World Cafe - A series of small group discussions to gain knowledge and formulate questions to the upcoming panel (Open event but designed primarily for ESE). Wednesday, March 22nd, 6:00 PM in HIKS B853 2. Keystone Panel - A panel of varying expertise exploring the cultural, policy, economic, media and other elements of Standing Rock (Open to the public and webcast). Tuesday, April 11th, 6:00 PM in PFEN 241 Click here to Register<https://goo.gl/forms/egeTzIybx01WaAO53> Look forward to seeing you there, The Keystone Leadership Team P.S. If you are willing to volunteer as a facilitator for the World Cafe, please contact Charlotte (lee1876(a)purdue.edu<mailto:lee1876@purdue.edu>)

AGRY544 Environmental Organic Chemistry will be taught this Fall 2017
by Lee, Linda S 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

This course has been taught in even springs, but for several reasons involving other courses in AGRY, EEE, and CE, we would like to move it to Fall semester so that is what we are tying this year. See below for a brief blurb. I can send you a tentative syllabus if needed to help you decide if you want to take this course. TEXT: "Environmental Organic Chemistry" R.P. Schwarzenbach, P.M. Gschwend, and D. M. Imboden 3rd edition, 2017. Wiley-Interscience. (The required text will also be made available at the Life Sciences Library as needed) Other materials: Approximately 20% of the material presented in this course may be derived from other materials which will be provided as needed in class, placed on Blackboard or on reserve in the Lilly Life Science Library. Course Objective: Learn the fundamental properties and processes responsible for the environmental fate of organic contaminants in aqueous and nonaqueous-phase liquids (e.g., fuels, chlorinated solvents, industrial and manufacturing residuals), and soils. Both conceptual and theoretical aspects will be covered as well as estimation, correlation, and measurement techniques. Intended Audience: Designed as an advanced course for students in any field of environmental science where understanding and predicting the environmental fate of organic chemicals is desired. Course Expectations: You are expected to turn in your assignments in a timely manner; abuse of grace time may result in a grade deduction for that assignment. You are expected to come to class prepared especially when assignments are followed up with in-class activities. You are expected to be an active participant in class and within your designated group during group activities. Course Evaluation: Homework/Case Study Participation 35% (8 to 10 study assignments plus case studies) Exams (2) 40% (In class) Final 25% (Likely take home) Grade-scale: A+ (97-100); A (90-96); B+ (87-89); B (80-86); C+ (77-79); C (70-76); D (60-69); F (* 59) Linda S.
