Advances in Environmental Modelling
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental simulation models provide a solution exploration space for many of the key issues and problems we face in the custodianship of our planet. The turn of the decade is a good time to take stock of the state-of-the-art and the new or remaining challenges for the research agenda. This Special Issue on Advances in Environmental Modelling will include within its remit simulation modelling of physical, biological, economic and socio-cultural environments. The theme will incorporate not only advances in the approaches to environmental modelling per se, but a more broader view on the evolving contributions that these models make in decision-making and to the sustainability agenda.
