Abstract: | |
An important step in completing a successful site assessment or remediation project is understanding the geochemical components involved. While many people have a solid understanding of hydrological processes, the chemical aspects of the site that largely determine the outcome of the remediation effort are often poorly understood.
This is an introductory geochemistry course for scientists and engineers working in the fields of ground water site characterization, contamination, and remediation. It is designed to provide a thorough understanding of the principles of geochemistry. Basic chemical interactions occurring between water and soil/aquifer material that determine the composition of natural water and affect the migration of contaminants will be covered, as will the anticipated efficiency of remediation practices. Data collection, presentation, and interpretation of results will be discussed. Once this fundamental knowledge is obtained, it will be possible to integrate this information into particular contamination situations and design adequate remediation systems given the site-specific geochemical parameters (this is the focus of the Practical Applications of Ground Water Geochemistry course).
