Synopsis

Many environmental problems contain incomplete data in the initial or boundary conditions. How do we solve problems for which some of the initial and/or boundary conditions are unknown? Using a new technique, the sentinel method, this book answers these questions and others as they pertain to inverse problems in environmental pollution, such as pollution of underground and surface waters, thermal pollution, and air pollution.

From the Back Cover

Inverse problems in pollution, where incomplete data forces the practitioner to work backwards from effects to determine causes, are a particularly challenging problem for environmental scientists and mathematicians. This useful guide explains how to solve inverse problems by measuring pollution concentration at a few points and - using the sentinel method - locate and identify pollutants, calculate the quantity of pollutant discharged, detect crises early, and more. This applications-oriented book also explains how to extend the method to other situations.
