Workshops and virtual retreats

Learn to use The Geochemist's Workbench® like a pro with training from Aqueous Solutions, the people who make the software. Your time is valuable—let us get you up and running quickly!


The short presentations and example exercises really showcased what the software can do and provided us with an opportunity to test drive the software.

– George A., Environmental Engineer, USA

I loved the workshop! It was just the right combination of instruction plus hands‑on.

– Karen Kinsella, GZA GeoEnvironmental

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

– Harsev S., Environmental Engineering Student, USA


 2024 Virtual Retreats

2024 virtual retreat

Immerse yourself with like-minded colleagues from around the world to learn the ins and outs of geochemical modeling at a Virtual Retreat.

Each instructor-led, hands-on retreat spans four half-day sessions and gives you a detailed look at how you can apply the latest modeling techniques in your work.

In 2024, we will offer two retreats: Geochemical Reaction Modeling in the spring, and then in the fall, Reactive Transport Modeling. Whether you're a beginner or expert, don't miss these opportunities to hone your skills!

Thank you for the GWB workshop—it was perfect! The tasks made the learning process really easy.

– Yuchen Liu, University of Illinois


Featured workshop—2024 Chicago Goldschmidt

GWB Community workshop

Heading to the Goldschmidt this year? Don't miss your chance to learn to use the free GWB Community Edition to model speciation in aqueous geochemical systems!

In this in-person, hands-on workshop, we will construct Pourbaix diagrams, model species distributions in natural waters, account for redox disequilibrium, and incorporate the effects of surface complexation.

For details or to register, please visit the workshop webpage.

The [Johannesburg] workshop was good and quite informative, I'll be attending the one that you'll hold in Cape Town in 2016.

– Hlanganani Tutu, University of the Witwatersrand

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

– Thais Lamana, Golder Associates

I loved the [geochemical modeling] workshop! In the future I would really like to take the reactive transport course.

– Ryan Davis, Colorado State University

Neither of us specializes in groundwater chemistry, but we found the course easy to follow and understand.

– Abby M., Horizons Regional Council, New Zealand
