Beneath our feet is a fascinating world of flowing water, cosmopolitan microbes, and complex mineral assemblages. Yet we see none of it from above. Our quest to investigate these complex subsurface interactions has led to the development of reactive transport models. These are computer algorithms that allow us to explore, in a virtual way, the natural dynamics of Earth's systems and our anthropogenic impact on those systems. Here, we explain the concepts behind reactive transport models-which include the transport of aqueous species and the descriptions of biogeochemical reactions involving solutes, surfaces and microorganisms-and introduce to reactive transport applications in terrestrial and marine environments.
