Overview

Water resources are among the most imperiled requirements for life. Streams, rivers, lakes, and groundwater are important sources of freshwater, but face mounting threats from increasing demand, the severe drought and flooding that will accompany global climate change, and polluted rural and urban runoff.

Key Facts

Hence, students in the Environmental Sciences - Water Quality programme from University Colorado of Denver pursue interdisciplinary study of water processes across topics in surface and groundwater hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, water quality, and contaminant fate/transport. The curriculum illuminates complex interactions among the physical, biological, and chemical components of aquatic systems using theory and hands-on training applied to field, laboratory, and modeling methods.

This specialization emphasizes natural science perspectives, but includes linkages to engineering and geologic approaches. Our graduates are prepared for careers in government, private consulting, research, or non-governmental organizations that are focused on understanding, protecting, and restoring water systems for future generations.
