This course general data for the earth's atmosphere are presented and discussed involving an environmental engineer. The earth's energy balance is analyzed in combination with the greenhouse effect. Particular emphasis is placed on thermodynamic processes of the atmospheric air and on the governing equations of the movement of air masses in the atmospheric boundary layer. Furthermore, atmospheric statistic analysis is presented as well as the analysis of weather systems.

Environmental Geotechnics
Marina Pantazidou - Undergraduate -

School of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens
The object of Environmental Geotechnics is the protection of the subsurface (soil and groundwater) from potential pollutants related primarily to waste management (e.g. landfills) and to transporting, storing and handling toxic raw materials (e.g. petroleum products, solvents). The course aims to promote (a) comprehension of the main processes that govern the spreading of pollution and its containment, (b) judicious application of the equations describing these processes and (c) familiarization with case studies of contaminated sites.
A case study of contamination and remediation evolves in time and in space. To this end, the course first and foremost aims to highlight the temporal scale (several years to decades) and the spatial scale of these cases (tens to hundreds of meters, even a few kilometers when multiple neighboring pollution sources exist). Meanwhile, the course covers background necessary to assess the severity of pollution and gives a sense of when a contaminated site is a “difficult” one to remediate.
