In all branches of the environmental sciences there is a discernable trend towards attempting to model natural systmes and predict their behaviour, rather than passive observation. Advancing scientific knowledge has made the design of models feasible, while developments in computer technology have made their implementation practicable. This book provides a cross-section of current practices in computer modelling spanning the environmental sciences. Many of the topics are relevant to matters of topical public concern - global atmospheric effects and world climate; oceanographic phenomena and coastal flooding; pollution dispersal and acid rain; etc. The scale ranges from models placing heavy demands on advanced supercomputers, to more modest developments on personal computers.
