Résumé

Integrated Environmental Modeling teaches environmental model development, implementation, and testing in a unified manner, applicable to all three natural media.

Details the fundamentals of pollutant transport, including physical, chemical, toxicological, and legislative aspects of pollutant characterization.
Includes practical guidelines showing when to use each different modeling approach, along with computer-aided implementation models like the Urban Airshed Model, an Vadose Leaching Model, and a subsurface model.
Explains the statistical techniques needed to evaluate the effectiveness of each approach, with ample case studies.
