Environmental Modelling cover

A comprehensive resource on environmental modelling that shows how to simplify complex environmental systems

This unique guide gives an overview of environmental modelling with a focus on simplifying complex environmental systems. Written for students and practitioners in environmental science, engineering and ecology, the book reviews all of the current software, tools and techniques used for modelling environmental processes, and gives practical examples from a wide variety of disciplines, such as climatology, ecology, hydrology, geomorphology and civil engineering.

To further aid in reader comprehension, a companion website provides colour images and links to resources and chapter support pages. The website also includes data sets relating to case studies, exercises, and model animations. Topics covered in the book include:

  • An overview of modelling and model building
  • Current and future approaches to environmental modelling
  • Models for environmental management
  • Modelling land-use change, ice sheet modelling
  • Using OpenSource data and AI

This book is suitable for final-year undergraduates and postgraduates in environmental modelling, environmental science, civil engineering, and biology who are already familiar with the subject and moving on to specialize in the field. It will also appeal to professionals interested in the environmental sciences, including environmental consultants, government employees, civil engineers, geographers, ecologists, meteorologists, and geochemists.
