Methods in Analytical Geochemistry is designed as an overview of basic collection and preparation of water, soil and rock samples for elemental analysis by analytical geochemical techniques used in environmental and exploration geology, as well as, geochemical studies.

Course participant evaluation is based on: a) bi-weekly lab book evaluations (including write-ups, data plots, analytical accuracy, and neatness) [50%]; b) participation in summary lab/classroom/field discussions [20%]; c) evaluation of a final, three-page, method write-up [30%]*.

Graduate students taking the class for G690 (graduate credit) will have an additional written assignment due after GSA week (TBA), which is factored into the final written assignment.
