Methods and Calculations in Environmental Physics

Methods and Calculations in Environmental Physics refreshes and introduces the basics of physics for those trained in other disciplines who apply physics in their work and research. This book examines a range of topical environmental challenges from a physics perspective, addressing them as both forward and inverse problems. Readers are then able to see cause-and-effect relationships from the full range of physical principles and factors.

Comprehensive coverage includes:

• An interdisciplinary and systems approach to topics including systems dynamics, toxicology, risk exposure, and pollution control
• A focus on many aspects of environmental problems from the perspective of the physicist
• Relationships between environmental physics, chemistry, and biology

Methods and Calculations in Environmental Physics is an invaluable resource for practicing environmental enginteers and scientists, graduate students in environmental programs, and undergraduates in engineering, biology, and ecology.
