Decision making for managing environmental systems is increasingly guided by modelling studies in which risks are quantified and future scenarios are assessed. Students are introduced step-by-step to model building of environmental systems drawn from examples such as climate change impacts on hydrology, water and contaminant movement in coastal zones and rivers, water quality, greenhouse gas effects on the climate system etc. <br/><br/>This unit draws upon processes and knowledge obtained at Level 2. -- Course Website
