Description
While defining the concepts and principles of model construction for environmental systems, this title also outlines the scientific achievements of environmental modelling. The book evaluates the use of models in environmental systems by assessing the limits of environmental modelling and identifying the restrictions these limits might place on predictions of the effects of environmental change. New techniques and approaches which might be successfully applied to environmental problems are also appraised.
