It is targeted at all natural scientists dealing with the environment: process and chemical engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, biochemists, hydrogeologists, geochemists and ecologists. MATLAB was chosen as the major computer tool for modeling, firstly because it is unique in its capabilities, and secondly because it is avail- able in most academic institutions, at all universities and at the research departments of many companies.

Second Edition

Th e book has two aims: to introduce basic concepts of environmental modeling and to faciliate the application of the concepts using modern numerical tools such as MATLAB. It is targeted at all natural scientists dealing with the environment: process and chemical engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, biochemists, hydrogeologists, geochemists and ecologists. MATLAB was chosen as the major computer tool for modeling, fi rstly because it is unique in its capabilities, and secondly because it is avail-able in most academic institutions, at all universities and at the research departments of many companies. In the 2nd edition many chapters include updated and extended material. In addition the MATLAB command index was updated and a new chapter on numerical methods was added.

E. Holzbecher obtained his diploma in mathematics at the University of Cologne aft er which he worked as a modeller on various tasks, such as safety assessment of waste repositories, on saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers, on geothermal systems, on the interstitial between surface and sub-surface water, on riverbank fi ltration and artifi cial groundwater recharge, on landfi ll evaluation, on hydrothermics, on fuel cells and oth-ers. He was affi liated to Technical Univ. Berlin, to Kyoto University in Beppu, Japan, to Beer-Sheba University at Sede-Boker in Israel, to the Inst. of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) in Berlin, to Humboldt Univ. Berlin and to the Weierstrass Insti-tute of Applied Analysis and Stochastics (WIAS) in Berlin. Currently he is employed byGeorg-August University Göttingen, where he is involved in various projects of applied and environmental geology.Th e author obtained academic degrees in mathematics, in civil engineering and in hydrogeology. Besides teaching regular university classes at Freie Univ. Berlin and in Göttingen, he has held courses at Argonne National Laboratories, Chicago, in con-tract with the International Atomic Agency (IAEA), at Kyoto University (Japan) and participated in a knowledge transfer project with the Polish Geological Survey in Szczecin. He has published many papers on modeling in various journals. “Environ-mental Modeling” is his 4th book.
