Hardisty, D. M. Taylor and S. E. Metcalfe The University of Hull, UK The study of the environment is currently developing into a rigorous and demanding analytical science that requires the use of sophisticated environmental models. The increasing demand for graduates trained to deal with complex environmental issues gives rise to the problem of how environmental modelling should be taught. Computerised Environmental Modelling, which is based upon an existing undergraduate course, addresses this problem by presenting a readable (and tested) introduction to the subject through an easy to use software environment. Simple numerical models taught through widely available spreadsheets do away with the need for language-specific training. Students now no longer need to program before they can model. Divided into three sections, the book first deals with the general principles of environmental systems modelling, then \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eENVIRONMENTAL MODELING.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Environmental Systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Modeling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO COMPUTER MODELING.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Making a Paper Model.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Making a Computer Model.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Environmental Models.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Presenting the Results.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Process-Response Modeling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Stochastic Modeling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Feedback Modeling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Validation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e EXAMPLES OF ENVIRONMENTAL MODELS.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An Ocean Temperature Model.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chaos.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Daisy World.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Faunal Extinction on an Isolated Island.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Acid Deposition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Hydrological Response of Lake Basins.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402686046551,"sku":"9780471938224","price":83.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780471938224.jpg?v=1730481231","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/computerised-environmetal-modelling-9780471938224","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
