Environmental Modelling, Software and Decision Support: State of the Art and New PerspectiveAnthony J. Jakeman, Alexey A. Voinov, Andrea E. Rizzoli, Serena H. Chen Elsevier, 11 set 2008 - 384 pagine The complex and multidisciplinary nature of environmental problems requires that they are dealt with in an integrated manner. Modeling and software have become key instruments used to promote sustainability and improve environmental decision processes, especially through systematic integration of various knowledge and data and their ability to foster learning and help make predictions. This book presents the current state-of-the-art in environmental modeling and software and identifies the future challenges in the field.
