| Title: | Environmental Modelling: New Research |
|---|---|
| Description: | Environment models seek to re-create what occurs during some event in nature. It is much easier and practical to create computer models to run certain experiments than it is to go out and do the same experiment again and again. Computer models take equations which were usually formulated through testing under natural conditions, and put them into computer programs where they can be run quickly and easily. A model can then output the results of doing these equations into a form which can be output to a screen for the user to view. The aim is to improve the capacity to represent, understand, predict or manage the behaviour of environmental systems at all practical scales. This new book presents the latest research from around the globe. |
