| Summary: | The dynamic, evolving Earth, & the mathematical representation of its geochemical changes are the subject of this handbook. Global warming, changes in the ocean, & the effects of fossil fuel combustion are just a few of the phenomena that make the development of geochemical models critical. But what computational methods will help to accurately carry out this task? This text teaches the methodology of computational simulation of environmental change. The author presents interesting applications of his methods to describe the response of the ocean & atmosphere to the infusion of pollutants, the effect of evaporation on seawater composition, climate change, & many other aspects of the Earth's evolving ecosystem. He also presents simple approaches for solving non-linear systems, calculating isotope ratios, & dealing with chains of identical reservoirs. |
