About this book

Environmental protection has become a universal issue with world-wide support. Environmental studies have now bridged the realms of academic research and societal applications. Mathematical modeling and large-scale data collection and analysis lie at the core of all environmental studies. Unfortunately, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers immersed in developing and applying environmental models, computational methods, statistical techniques and computational hardware advance with separate and often discordant paces. The volume is based on recent research designed to provide a much needed interdisciplinary forum for joint exploration of recent advances in this field.
