Geofluids: Your 5-Step Guide to Mastering Geochemical Reaction Path Modeling#
The overall objectives of these accompanying Geofluids course notes are to:
give you a systematic step wise approach to problem solving using geochemical modeling
use real-world case studies to gain an understanding of key processes controlling fluid-rock interaction
refresh fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic concepts and give you a solid understanding of their importance for modeling
guide you in designing, calculating, and plotting fluid-rock equilibrium and kinetic models
get you started on your own modeling projects!
Useful materials for the exercises includes the GEMS Tutorial gitbook and the MINES thermodynamic database .
This book is split up into several chapters that will be added and improved step by step.
