Inverse Biogeochemical Modeling

[Bob Smith]

Tim Ginn of UC-Davis and I are preparing to attempt to link The Geochemist’s Workbench (professional) with the UCODE (a universal inversion code) software in order to inverse model biogeochemical experiments to recover kinetic and microbial parameters. Initially we will be working with results from batch biogeochemical experiments, but ultimately we would like to recover similar parameters from column/field experiments/observations. Does anyone have experience with this type of linkage (or using PEST/ Visual PEST)?

 

Thanks
