Developed from a symposium held in Los Angeles, CA, September, 1988. Covers aqueous chemical theory, equilibrium and mass transfer models and their subsystems, and critical components of key chemical models, such as uncertainty analyses and thermodynamic data. In addition, the book addresses several new areas of concern including organics, isotopes, adsorption, and coupled process modeling. It contains descriptions of the major aqueous chemical modeling codes and brings together classical aspects of modeling as they apply to current problems. With author, affiliation, and subject indexes. For researchers, consultants and students in environmental chemistry, hydrology, geology, chemical engineering, and related fields.

This, the third collection of such papers has been selected by Bernard Evans of the University of Washington. Much of Earth's crust and arguably parts of its mantle are composed of rock that has undergone partial to complete textural and mineralogical reconstitution as a result of changes in conditions imposed on it. Metamorphic rocks carry a record of surface, shallow and deep geological events and processes going back to 4 Ga. Early in the last century, the descriptive science of metamorphic petrography began a gradual evolution into metamorphic petrology and petrogenesis much as we know it today. Researchers came to depend more and more on related sciences, such as thermodynamics, materials science, mineralogy, tectonophysics, and isotope geochemistry, to provide a fuller understanding of the facts coming from the field and the laboratory. Fundamental principles and procedures from these borrowed sciences helped keep metamorphic petrology moving and contributed to its endless fascination.
