Applied Environmental Modelling, 15 credits

Environmental issues are complex. A systems perspective is required in order to understand today’s multidisciplinary environmental problems, and to identify both long-term solutions and alternatives. The course is founded in systems science theories (system analysis and system dynamics) and approaches problem-solving with the help of conceptual and quantitative modelling, and scenario techniques focusing on natural resource management, anthropogenic environmental impact and sustainability. The course includes both theoretical and practical components.
