There will be introduction to principles of thermodynamics (activities, saturation indices etc.) and kinetics (order of reaction, activation energy etc.). Also principles of redox reactions and adsorption will be introduced. Examples of basic geochemical modeling including speciation modeling, inverse geochemical modeling and forward geochemical modeling will also be presented.
