About

Molecular processes in nature affect human health, the availability of resources and the Earth's climate. Molecular modelling is a powerful and versatile toolbox that complements experimental data and provides insights where direct observation is not currently possible.

“Molecular Modeling of Geochemical Reactions: An Introduction” applies computational chemistry to geochemical problems. Chapters focus on geochemical applications in aqueous, petroleum, organic, environmental, bio-and isotope geochemistry, covering the fundamental theory, practical guidance on applying techniques, and extensive literature reviews in numerous geochemical sub-disciplines.
Topics covered include:

• Theory and Methods of Computational Chemistry

• Force Field Application and Development

• Computational Spectroscopy

• Thermodynamics

• Structure Determination

• Geochemical Kinetics

This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers looking to understand geochemical processes on a molecular level. Novice practitioners of molecular modelling, experienced computational chemists, and experimentalists seeking to understand this field will all find information and knowledge of use in their research.
