Diagenetic Models and Their Implementation: Modelling Transport and Reactions in Aquatic Sediments

The study of sedimentary chemistry and its associated proceses is becoming increasingly mathematical. There is a growing desire to gain a quantitative undrstanding of the reasons for the natural chemical changes observed in sediments as they are buried. The aim of this text is to develop transport-reaction (diagenetic) models, and methods for their solution. It attempts to present a detailed account of model formulation by explaining some useful solution techniques. The choice of material illustrates methods that are simple to understand and implement, yet powerful enough to attack even the most complicated diagenetic problems. The cited computer programs are available on the Internet.
