Introduction to Environmental Modeling

Catalog description

Description: Intended as an introductory course for graduate and senior undergraduate students to the fundamentals of environmental modeling. Develops material necessary to construct models capable of identifying contaminant distributions at future times and space for water and air pollution applications. Advanced topics such as stochastic modeling, ecological risk assessment, neural modeling and spatial statistical analysis among others will be presented according to the backgrounds and interests of the enrolled students. In part, the course is designed as the "Physical Science" component for MS students in the Environmental Sciences program. May not be used for degree credit with CIVE 4883 .
