Contributor(s): Wainwright, John, 1967- | Mulligan, Mark.
Publisher: Oxford : Wiley-Blackwell, 2013Edition: 2nd edition.Description: xviii, 475 p. : ill, ports, ; 25 cm.Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780470749111 (hbk.); 9780470749111:; 0470749113 (hbk.).Subject(s): Environmental sciences -- Mathematical models | Environmental sciences -- MethodologyDDC classification: 333.7015118
Contents:
Introduction -- Modelling and model building -- Time series: analysis and modelling -- Non-linear dynamics, self-organization and cellular automata models -- Spatial modelling and scaling issues -- Environmental applications of computational fluid dynamics -- Data-based mechanistic modelling and the emulation of large environmental system models -- Stochastic versus deterministic approaches -- Climate and climate-system modelling -- Soil and hillslope (eco)hydrology -- Modelling catchment and fluvial processes and their interactions -- Modelling plant ecology -- Spatial population models for animals -- Vegetation and disturbance -- Erosion and sediment transport: finding simplicity in a complicated erosion model -- Landslides, rockfalls and sandpiles -- Finding simplicity in complexity in biogeochemical modelling -- Representing human decision-making in environmental modelling -- Modelling landscape evolution -- Models supporting decision-making and policy evaluation -- Models in policy formulation and assessment: the WadBOS decision-support system -- Soil erosion and conservation -- Forest-management modelling -- Stability and instability in the management of mediterranean desertification -- Operational European flood forecasting -- Assessing model adequacy -- Pointers for the future.
Summary: Environmental Modelling addresses a number of common themes in the development, testing and application of such models, which apply across traditional boundaries, and demonstrate how interactions across these boundaries can be beneficial.
