Hydrological applications -- Terrestrial sediment and heat flux applications -- Spatial modelling of urban system dynamics.

"Understanding and predicting the behaviour of natural and human environmental systems is crucial for the effective management of the Earth's limited resources. Recently, great advances have been made through spatial modelling. This book provides a snapshot of the latest research in modelling technologies and methodologies within five environmental fields; the cryosphere, hydrology, geomorphology, vegetation interfaces and urban environments"
