Geochemical modeling is a powerful tool for characterizing environmental site contaminations and predicting environmental impacts. This advanced student textbook demonstrates the application of geochemical models to environmental problems, through the use of numerous case studies of real-world environmental problems. It is also an indispensable reference for professionals and environmental regulators.
