Environmental Applications of Geochemical Modeling

This book discusses the application of geochemical models to environmental practice and studies through the use of numerous case studies of real-world environmental problems such as acid mine drainage pit lake chemistry nuclear waste disposal and landfill leachates. In each example the authors clearly define the environmental threat in question; explain how geochemical modeling may help solve the problem posed; and advise the reader how to prepare input files for geochemical modeling codes and interpret the results in terms of meeting regulatory requirements.
