26. Environmental modelling

  • Tobias Krueger (author)
Chapter of: The Field Guide to Mixing Social and Biophysical Methods in Environmental Research(pp. 461–468)
Environmental modelling represents environmental processes using mathematical equations and eventually computer programmes. These models allow virtual experiments on a system to gain understanding of its dynamics and to predict system behaviour, which are useful for research, policy and practice. A model, however, is never neutral but always reproduces particular disciplinary norms, habits and political, economic and technical contexts.
