Geochemical modeling is a tool used by scientists and engineers that combines the important geochemical processes with computerized calculations methods to quantify contaminant mobility at a site. It can be used to predict mobile concentrations of contaminants in ground-water and to design remediation systems to remove or immobilize contaminants.
Case studies illustrate the use of geochemical models at natural and contaminated sites.
Instructor William J. Deutsch is Vice President, Woodward-Clyde Federal Services in Seattle. He has over 20 years of experience in the geological sciences as both a research scientist and consulting geochemist. During the past ten years he has taught over 30 professional development classes on groundwater geochemistry and geochemical modeling. He has taught geochemical modeling classes since 1984.
