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!
I loved the workshop! It was just the right combination of instruction plus hands‑on.
– Karen Kinsella, GZA GeoEnvironmental
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
Prior to the course I found the program daunting, but now I feel comfortable using it and am very impressed with what I can do.
– Ashlee D., Penn State University
2024 Virtual Retreats
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!
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
Featured workshop—2024 Chicago Goldschmidt
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.
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!
– Altus Huisamen, Geo Pollution Technologies, Pretoria

Neither of us specializes in groundwater chemistry, but we found the course easy to follow and understand.
– Abby M., Horizons Regional Council, New Zealand
I have been modeling with GWB for several years now but I always learn something new at the workshops.
– Johan Fourie, Geostratum Groundwater & Geochemistry Consulting
The best workshop I've ever participated in. The short theoretical introductions and illustrated exercises helped me learn the software in two days.
– Valeria B., Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
