Environmental Modelling by John Wainwright
Simulation models are increasingly used to investigate processes and solve practical problems in a wide variety of disciplines eg. climatology, ecology, hydrology, geomorphology, engineering. Environmental Modelling: A Practical Approach addresses the development, testing and application of such models, which apply across traditional boundaries, and demonstrate how interactions across these boundaries can be beneficial. * Provides a general overview of methods and approaches as well as focusing on key subject areas written by leading practitioners in the field* Assesses the advantages and disadvantages of different models used and provides case studies supported with data, output, tutorial exercises and links to the model and/or model applications via the book's website* Covers major developments in the field, eg. the use of GIS and remote sensing techniques, and scaling issues* As associated website contains colour images, as well as links to www resources
"..this book demonstrates well the variety of models in environmental research and practice..." (Hydrological Sciences Journal, Feb 2005, Vol 50 (1)) "...a useful book...I will be encouraging our library to have multiple copies on short loan..." (Progress in Physical Geography, Vol 29 (3) 2005)
