Environmental Modelling with GIS and Remote Sensingby Andrew Skidmore
CRC Press 2002; US$ 64.95Looks at how governments and private companies are increasingly using geographical data for looking at environmental issues. It details the capabilities and applications of GIS and remote sensing for environmental modelling in this field. more...
Environmental Modellingby John Wainwright; Mark Mulligan
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2005; US$ 150.00Simulation models are increasingly used to investigate processes and solve practical problems in a wide variety of disciplines eg. climatology, ecology, hydrology, geomorphology, engineering. Environmental Modelling: A Practical Approach addresses the development, testing and application of such models, which apply across traditional boundaries, and demonstrate how interactions across these boundaries can be beneficial. Provides a general overview of methods and approaches as well as focusing on key subject areas written by leading practitioners in the field Assesses the advantages and disadvantages of different models used and provides case studies supported with data, output, tutorial exercises and links to the model and/or model... more...
Analyzing Environmental Databy Walter W. Piegorsch; A. John Bailer
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2005; US$ 90.00Environmental statistics is a rapidly growing field, supported by advances in digital computing power, automated data collection systems, and interactive, linkable Internet software. Concerns over public and ecological health and the continuing need to support environmental policy-making and regulation have driven a concurrent explosion in environmental data analysis. This textbook is designed to address the need for trained professionals in this area. The book is based on a course which the authors have taught for many years, and prepares students for careers in environmental analysis centered on statistics and allied quantitative methods of data evaluation. The text extends beyond the introductory level, allowing students and environmental... more...
Field Samplingby Alfred R. Conklin
Taylor & Francis 2004; US$ 99.95This reference describes in detail all the essential elements for the development and execution of a successful sampling plan at both contaminated and uncontaminated sites, leading the reader through presampling, planning, specific sampling situations and correct sample labelling, shipping, storage and examination. more...
Environmental Statistics with S-PLUSby Steven P. Millard
CRC Press 2000; US$ 109.95This reference text for environmental statistics includes general information on environmental statistical methods and examples of how to implement these methods using the statistical software package S-Plus. Data sets can be downloaded from CRC Press internet site. more...
Modeling Tools for Environmental Engineers and Scientistsby Nirmala Khandan
CRC Press 2001; US$ 119.95Modeling Tools for Environmental Engineers and Scientists enables environmental professionals, faculty, and students with minimal computer programming skills to develop computer-based mathematical models for natural and engineered environmental systems. The author illustrates how commercially available syntax-free authoring software can be adapted to create customized, high-level models of environmental phenomena in groundwater, soil, aquatic, and atmospheric systems, and in engineered reactors. This book includes a review of mathematical modeling and fundamental concepts such as material balance, reactor configurations, and fate and transport of environmental contaminants. It illustrates, using numerous examples, how mathematical and dynamic... more...
Sampling for Natural Resource Monitoringby Jaap De Gruijter
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 239.00Presents the statistical knowledge and methodology of sampling and data analysis useful for spatial inventory and monitoring of natural resources. This work places emphasis on how statistical methodology can be employed and embedded in real-life spatial inventory and monitoring projects. more...
Fundamentals of Environmental Sampling and Analysisby Chunlong Zhang
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2007; US$ 134.00An integrated approach to understanding the principles of sampling, chemical analysis, and instrumentation This unique reference focuses on the overall framework and why various methodologies are used in environmental sampling and analysis. An understanding of the underlying theories and principles empowers environmental professionals to select and adapt the proper sampling and analytical protocols for specific contaminants as well as for specific project applications. Covering both field sampling and laboratory analysis, Fundamentals of Environmental Sampling and Analysis includes: A review of the basic analytical and organic chemistry, statistics, hydrogeology, and environmental regulations relevant to sampling and analysis An overview... more...
Partial Order in Environmental Sciences and Chemistryby Rainer Brüggemann; Lars Carlsen
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 159.00The environmental and chemical sciences are ever more reliant on computers. Under algebraic relations, "order" turns out to be of special interest in many applicational fields. This book explains the theory and practice of order relations. It is intended for those who are interested in the interface between sciences and management. more...
Environmental Foresight and Modelsby M.B. Beck
Elsevier 2002; US$ 143.00Policy-makers and the public, it has famously been said, are more interested in the possibility of non-linear dislocations and surprises in the behaviour of the environment than in smooth extrapolations of current trends. The International Task Force in Forecasting Environmental Change (1993-1998) dedicated its work to developing procedures of model building capable of addressing our palpable concerns for substantial change in the future. This volume discusses the immense challenges that such structural change presents - that the behaviour of the environment may become radically different from that observed in the past - and investigates the potentially profound implications for model development. Drawing upon case histories from the Great... more...
