Environmental Applications of Geochemical Modeling

Chen Zhu received a Master's degree from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins University (1992), before being awarded a post-doctoral fellowship at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He subsequently worked for five years in the environmental industry, where he encountered many environmental problems first-hand and routinely used geochemical modeling as a tool in his work. Dr Zhu is now an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh where he teaches courses in geochemical modeling. Greg Anderson has been Professor of Geochemistry at the University of Toronto for 35 years and is the author of two textbooks on thermodynamics for Earth scientists: Thermodynamics in Geochemistry (1993) and Thermodynamics of Natural Systems (1995). In 2000 he was awarded the Past President's medal by The Mineralogical Association of Canada for contributions to geochemistryZhu, Chen is the author of 'Environmental Applications of Geochemical Modeling', published 2002 under ISBN 9780521005777 and ISBN 0521005779.
