Simulation models are an established method used to investigate
processes and solve practical problems in a wide variety of
disciplines. Central to the concept of this second edition is the
idea that environmental systems are complex, open systems. The
authors present the diversity of approaches to dealing with
environmental complexity and then encourage readers to make
comparisons between these approaches and between different
disciplines.
"Environmental Modelling: Finding Simplicity in Complexity" 2nd
edition is divided into four main sections: An overview of methods
and approaches to modelling.State of the art for modelling
environmental processesTools used and models for managementCurrent
and future developments.
The second edition evolves from the first by providing
additional emphasis and material for those students wishing to
specialize in environmental modelling. This edition: Focuses on
simplifying complex environmental systems.Reviews current software,
tools and techniques for modelling.Gives practical examples from a
wide variety of disciplines, e.g. climatology, ecology, hydrology,
geomorphology and engineering.Has an associated website containing
colour images, links to WWW resources and chapter support pages,
including data sets relating to case studies, exercises and model
animations.
This book is suitable for final year undergraduates and
postgraduates in environmental modelling, environmental science,
civil engineering and biology who will already be familiar with the
subject and are moving on to specialize in the field. It is also
designed to appeal to professionals interested in the environmental
sciences, including environmental consultants, government
employees, civil engineers, geographers, ecologists,
meteorologists, and geochemists.
