Course description
Introduction to the concepts, theories and techniques required to describe dynamic environmental systems and to develop mathematical models to explore their behaviour. Systems thinking and modelling approaches are applied to several important environmental systems and processes including: - Chemical and biological transformations in water and air pollution applications - Ecological models and population dynamics - Global climate change - Water balances in lakes and reservoirs - Energy and mass transfer Students will gain skills in the use of scientific and engineering techniques of mass and energy balances, microbial and population kinetics, thermodynamics, transport processes, chemical and biochemical reactions.
