Integrated Environmental Modeling teaches environmental model development, implementation, and testing in a unified manner, applicable to all three natural media.

Integrated Environmental Modeling details the fundamentals of pollutant transport, including physical, chemical, toxicological, and legislative aspects of pollutant characterization.

Integrated Environmental Modeling includes practical guidelines showing when to use each different modeling approach, along with computer-aided implementation models like the Urban Airshed Model, an Vadose Leaching Model, and a subsurface model.

Integrated Environmental Modeling explains the statistical techniques needed to evaluate the effectiveness of each approach, with ample case studies.
