This note covers the following
topics: Geochemical Fundamentals, Low Temperature Geochemistry: The hydrologic
cycle and sedimentary systems, High Temperature and Planetary Geochemistry.
This note explains the
following topics: acid or base and electrochemical concepts, aqueous
geochemistry and solid-water interactions with an emphasis on ground water,
chemical weathering, mineral thermodynamics and redox (Eh-pH) diagrams and their
applications to soil and mineral stability and ground water chemistry, modeling,
environmental geochemistry and isotopes applied to groundwaters.
