{"product_id":"environmental-modelling-keith-beven-9780415457590","title":"Environmental Modelling: An Uncertain Future?: An Introduction to Techniques for Uncertainty Estimation in Environmental Prediction","description":"\u003cp\u003eUncertainty in the predictions of science when applied to the environment is an issue of great current relevance in relation to the impacts of climate change, protecting against natural and man-made disasters, pollutant transport and sustainable resource management. However, it is often ignored both by scientists and decision makers, or interpreted as a conflict or disagreement between scientists. This is not necessarily the case, the scientists might well agree, but their predictions would still be uncertain and knowledge of that uncertainty might be important in decision making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEnvironmental Modelling: An Uncertain Future?\u003c\/em\u003e introduces students, scientists and decision makers to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe different concepts and techniques of uncertainty estimation in environmental prediction \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe philosophical background to different concepts of uncertainty \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe constraint of uncertainties by the collection of observations and data assimilation in real-time forecasting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003etechniques for decision making under uncertainty. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be relevant to environmental modellers, practitioners and decision makers in hydrology, hydraulics, ecology, meteorology and oceanography, geomorphology, geochemistry, soil science, pollutant transport and climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA companion website for the book can be found at \u003cstrong\u003ewww.uncertain-future.org.uk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Beven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415457599\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415457590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2008 pg. 4","brand":"Keith Beven","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447740182783,"sku":"9780415457590","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15b36b32-54b5-43c2-aab1-03f07244e87d.jpg?v=1777234487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environmental-modelling-keith-beven-9780415457590","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
