geochemical modeling

Geochemical modeling is a scientific technique used to understand and predict the chemical behavior of substances in the environment, such as water, soil, and rocks. It involves creating computer simulations that represent the interactions between different chemicals and physical processes. By inputting various factors like temperature, pressure, and concentrations, scientists can forecast how contaminants move, how natural resources are formed, or how ecosystems respond to changes. This helps in making informed decisions for environmental management, resource extraction, and pollution control, ultimately aiding in protection and sustainable use of natural resources.
