The course aims to introduce the core steps of environmental modelling including problem and model identification, calibration, validation and sensitivity analysis. The course provides theoretical and practical knowledge about key concepts of different modelling techniques such as the integrated simulation of multimedia environmental processes as well as the description of point and non-point source pollutant and nutrient transport. Surface-subsurface water and material transport and air pollution is introduced. Evaluation of various environmental risks is also a relevant part of the material. During the course various mathematical methods will be presented including statistical and analytical approaches, numerical solution of differential equations and soft computing techniques.
