The Reactive Transport Workshop was absolutely fantastic! Five stars, would recommend to a friend!

– Kristina G., Syracuse University

I was very impressed with the GWB Fate and Transport course in Johannesburg. It was well presented and very informative. I would recommend the course to any of my peers. Thank you, Brian and Craig!

– Altus Huisamen, Geo Pollution Technologies, Pretoria

I really liked the course! You have the ability to explain things in an easy way, while pointing out the key issues.

 2024 Virtual Retreats

2024 virtual retreat

Immerse yourself with like-minded colleagues from around the world to learn the ins and outs of geochemical modeling at a Virtual Retreat.

Each instructor-led, hands-on retreat spans four half-day sessions and gives you a detailed look at how you can apply the latest modeling techniques in your work.

In 2024, we will offer two retreats: Geochemical Reaction Modeling in the spring, and then in the fall, Reactive Transport Modeling. Whether you're a beginner or expert, don't miss these opportunities to hone your skills!

Thanks again for a great course! I really learned a lot and am looking forward to putting it into practice.

– Andrew Wigston, Natural Resources Canada


Featured workshop—2024 Chicago Goldschmidt

GWB Community workshop

Heading to the Goldschmidt this year? Don't miss your chance to learn to use the free GWB Community Edition to model speciation in aqueous geochemical systems!

In this in-person, hands-on workshop, we will construct Pourbaix diagrams, model species distributions in natural waters, account for redox disequilibrium, and incorporate the effects of surface complexation.

For details or to register, please visit the workshop webpage.

As someone inexperienced in both transport and modeling, I found that the course content was made very easy and transparent.

– Eline Feenstra, University of Fribourg
