GWB Virtual Workshop
“Kinetic Reaction Modeling”—Sold out!
Presented online • 6–7 June 2023
Please join us from the comfort of your home or office for instructor-led, hands-on training on how you can use The Geochemist's Workbench® software to create quantitative models of reaction kinetics in multicomponent geochemical systems.
This workshop will be of interest to users and potential users of the Standard and Professional versions of the GWB 2023 software.
The workshop will be presented as a fully interactive, instructor-led online meeting for two consecutive half-days, from 08:00 to 11:30 CDT (13:00 to 16:30 UTC).
What you will learn. Following a fully hands-on format, you will learn all the ins and outs of this advanced toolset. Specific topics covered include:
- Overview of kinetic modeling
- Dissolution and precipitation kinetics
- Kinetics of redox reactions
- Catalysts and enzymes
- Autocatalytic phenomena
- Biodegradation
- Microbial kinetics
- Microbial community dynamics

I was very impressed with the GWB Fate and Transport course in Johannesburg. It was well presented and very informative. I would recommend the course to any of my peers. Thank you, Brian and Craig!

The execution of the workshop was outstanding! The software itself is great—most of what I need in one place.

I had the best time during the workshop! I am 100% convinced all my models will be done in GWB from now on!

Before the workshop
As the workshop date approaches, please take note of the following:
- About a week ahead of the workshop, we will send you a free 30-day license to The Geochemist's Workbench® 2023 Professional, along with the workshop schedule and two pdf files.
- Please make sure GWB 2023 Standard or Professional is installed and activated on a computer running MS Windows before joining the workshop.
- The first pdf file holds the complete set of PowerPoint slides to be shown by workshop instructors, in chronologic order, for your reference during and after the workshop.
- We recommend you print and spiral bind the second pdf file, containing the workbook you will use to complete hands-on exercises.
- We think you will be happiest if you have two computer screens available. That way, you will be able to take part in the workshop on one screen, while you use the other to run the software.
