The global environment is a complex mix of interlinked processes,
about which observation can tell us a great deal. But how can we
use current observation to model future events, or to predict the
consequences of scenarios that don't yet exist? Environmental
Modelling: An Introduction shows how modelling can be used to
explain experimental observations, and how these observations - and
the data gathered - can be extrapolated to help us understand new
environments and processes, and to solve environmental problems.
The book begins by explaining why modelling is such a powerful
experimental tool, before walking the reader through the process of
constructing a model - what the key considerations are, and how
different models should be used to probe different types of
problem. It then illustrates how models are actively applied,
before introducing a series of case studies to show how modelling
has been used in real environmental and ecological studies.
Accompanied by an extensive Online Resource Centre to support
active, hands-on learning on the part of the student, Environmental
Modelling: An Introduction is the ideal resource for any student
who needs to develop a working understanding of modelling, and how
to apply modelling in their own research. Online Resource Centre: -
Figures from the book available to download, to facilitate lecture
preparation - Interactive spreadsheets to encourage learning
through hands-on experience
