Environmental Modelling, Software and Decision Support
Author: Anthony J. JakemanPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080915302
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
The complex and multidisciplinary nature of environmental problems requires that they are dealt with in an integrated manner. Modeling and software have become key instruments used to promote sustainability and improve environmental decision processes, especially through systematic integration of various knowledge and data and their ability to foster learning and help make predictions. This book presents the current state-of-the-art in environmental modeling and software and identifies the future challenges in the field. - State-of-the-art in environmental modeling and software theory and practice for integrated assessment and management serves as a starting point for researchers - Identifies the areas of research and practice required for advancing the requisite knowledge base and tools, and their wider usage - Best practices of environmental modeling enables the reader to select appropriate software and gives the reader tools to integrate natural system dynamics with human dimensions
Overview of Environmental Decision Support Software

Book Description
Regulatory exposure limits form the basis for making decisions on the characterization, monitoring, and remediation of environmental contamination. This paper discusses the development of Decision Support Software (DSS) tools developed to support decisions pertaining to environmental management. Decision support software packages are computer-based programs that facilitate the use of data, models, and structured decision processes in decision making. They incorporate the information into an integrated package that presents results in a format useful for making environmental decisions. Six major analysis functions of DSS tools have been identified: site characterization, plume characterization, risk assessment including regulatory compliance assessment, remedy selection, remedy design optimization, and cost/benefit analysis. Decision support software is relatively new and is now beginning to see application in the field. This paper discusses existing DSS and the strengths and limitations of some of the DSS packages. General limitations of decision support software are also discussed.

Decision Support Systems for Risk-Based Management of Contaminated Sites
Author: Antonio MarcominiPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387097228
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
Decision Support Systems for Risk-Based Management of Contaminated Sites addresses decision making in environmental risk management for contaminated sites, focusing on the potential role of decision support systems in informing the management of chemical pollutants and their effects. Considering the environmental relevance and the financial impacts of contaminated sites all over the post-industrialized countries and the complexity of decision making in environmental risk management, decision support systems can be used by decision makers in order to have a more structured analysis of a problem at hand and define possible options of intervention to solve the problem. Accordingly, the book provides an analysis of the main steps and tools for the development of decision support systems, namely: environmental risk assessment, decision analysis, spatial analysis and geographic information system, indicators and endpoints. Sections are dedicated to the review of decision support systems for contaminated land management and for inland and coastal waters management. Both include discussions of management problem formulation and of the application of specific decision support systems. This book is a valuable support for environmental risk managers and for decision makers involved in a sustainable management of contaminated sites, including contaminated lands, river basins and coastal lagoons. Furthermore, it is a basic tool for the environmental scientists who gather data and perform assessments to support decisions, developers of decision support systems, students of environmental science and members of the public who wish to understand the assessment science that supports remedial decisions.
