About this Item

The discipline of Integrated Environmental Modelling (IEM) has developed in order to solve complex environmental problems, for example understanding the impacts of climate change on the physical environment. IEM provides methods to fuse or link models together, this in turn requires facilities to make models discoverable and also to make the outputs of modelling easily visualized.

The vision and challenges for IEM going forward are summarized by leading proponents. Several case studies describe the application of model fusion to a range of real-world problems including integrating groundwater and recharge models within the UK Environment Agency, and the development of ?catastrophe? models to predict better the impact of natural hazards. Communicating modelling results to end users who are often not specialist modellers is also an emerging area of research addressed within the volume. Also included are papers that highlight current developments of the technology platforms underpinning model fusion.

About this title

Synopsis

The capability to produce integrated environmental models by coupling together existing models allows researchers to contribute to key challenges affecting the environment, such as climate change. The volume explores all aspects of this technology the vision of leading proponents, application to practical problems, development of enabling software and the challenges to be faced.
