Upcoming course: Multicomponent reactive transport modeling for the environment, circular economy and critical raw materials

Multicomponent reactive transport models combine fluid dynamic in the subsurface and biochemical reactions. This capability make these tools relevant for several transversal topics including hydrogeology, environmental geochemistry , critical raw materials, circular economy , geoengineering and geophysics. The course entails the construction of a groundwater flow and transport model, to which reactions such as cationic exchange, weathering and microbially-mediated reactions are coupled. Case studies proposed by the students are analyzed and modelled

When: February 23-27

Where: Aula Chiesa – Dept. of Earth Sciences, Via Mangiagalli 34
