Modelling Support To Improve The Quality Of Environmental Studies, Huub Scholten Jul 2006

Modelling Support To Improve The Quality Of Environmental Studies, Huub Scholten

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Sound decisions in environmental management are often based on modelling, performed by teams consisting of team members with multidisciplinary backgrounds and solving multidisciplinary problems. Modelling in itself is a risky activity, in which many things can go wrong, including miscommunication within the team and between the team and the problem owner, malpractice, lack of process knowledge and a lack of documentation. This kind of problems makes modelling an obscure and arbitrary practice. The multidisciplinary character enhances the problem-solving scope of model studies, but does further increase the problems. Projects that use methods and tools for multidisciplinary model-based problem solving should …

Development Of A Multivariate Regression Model For Soil Nitrate Nitrogen Content Prediction* Jan 2006

Development Of A Multivariate Regression Model For Soil Nitrate Nitrogen Content Prediction*

Journal of Spatial Hydrology

Although soil nitrate nitrogen (N) is a nutrient source for crop, it could be a potential nonpoint pollution source to the environment when its content remains high with an inappropriate management. Soil nitrate N content is affected by various factors, such as cultivation practices, N fertilizer application rate, soil properties, and climatic conditions. Understanding the effects of these factors on soil nitrate N content is necessary for nitrogen management and nonpoint source pollution control. Taking the data measured from 1996 to 1998 in a 25 ha row crop field located in Central Iowa, this paper intended to study the interwoven …

The Benefits Of A For-Credit Course For New Writing Center Staff, Richard Benjamin Crosby Jan 2006

The Benefits Of A For-Credit Course For New Writing Center Staff, Richard Benjamin Crosby

Faculty Publications

Some questions about writing center theory and praxis never seem to change: how do we prepare for our clientele? How do we engage them? What questions should we ask? When should we direct them? And when should we encourage them to direct us? The list goes on. Fortunately, we consider it a virtue that we continue interrogating the same issues. As students of rhetoric, we realize that the answers to these questions often depend on the contexts in which they are asked. Thus, we give ourselves over to principles of adaptability. Instead of establishing rigid, universal rules that do not …

Spatial Modelling Of Air Pollution In Urban Areas With Gis: A Case Study On Integrated Database Development, L. Matejicek Jul 2004

Spatial Modelling Of Air Pollution In Urban Areas With Gis: A Case Study On Integrated Database Development, L. Matejicek

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

A wide range of data collected by monitoring systems and by mathematical and physical modellingcan be managed in the frame of spatial models developed in the GIS. In addition to data management andstandard environmental analysis of air pollution, data from remote sensing (aerial and satellite images) canextend all the data sets. In spite of that simulation of air pollutant distribution is carried out by standalonecomputer systems, the spatial database in the frame of the GIS is used to support decision-making processesin a more efficient way. Mostly, data are included in the map layers as attributes. Other map layers are carriedout …

Simulation Of Water And Carbon Fluxes In Agro- And Forest Ecosystems At The Regional Scale, J. Post, Valentina Krysanova, F. Suckow Jul 2004

Simulation Of Water And Carbon Fluxes In Agro- And Forest Ecosystems At The Regional Scale, J. Post, Valentina Krysanova, F. Suckow

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

To investigate effects of different land use management practices on carbon fluxes at the regional scale we developed an integrated model by coupling an ecohydrological river basin model SWIM (Soil and Water Integrated Model) and a soil organic matter model SCN (Soil-Carbon-Nitrogen model). The latter is a submodel of the forest growth model 4C. The extended integrated model combines hydrological processes, crop and vegetation growth, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus cycles and soil organic matter turnover. It is based on a three level spatial disaggregation scheme (basin, subbasin and hydrotopes), whereas a hydrotope is a set of elementary units in the subbasin …

An Assessment Of The Value Of Seasonal Forecasts In Australian Farming Systems, R. A. Letcher, F. H. S. Chiew, A. J. Jakeman Jul 2004

An Assessment Of The Value Of Seasonal Forecasts In Australian Farming Systems, R. A. Letcher, F. H. S. Chiew, A. J. Jakeman

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Reliable rainfall and streamflow forecasts several months ahead can benefit the management of water resource systems, particularly in Australia where the hydroclimate variability is high. Previous studies have shown that streamflow can be forecast by exploiting the lag relationship between streamflow and ENSO and the serial correlation in streamflow. This paper investigates the potential for seasonal forecasts to increase the profitability of irrigation production decisions, using an integrated hydrologic-economic model. Alternative water allocation policies and climate regimes are considered using a scenario-based approach and the potential value of climate forecasts estimated using the integrated model. The results can be used …

A Generalised Conceptual Framework For Integrated Assessment Modelling Of Water Resource Management Issues, R. A. Letcher, A. J. Jakeman, B. F. W. Croke Jul 2004

A Generalised Conceptual Framework For Integrated Assessment Modelling Of Water Resource Management Issues, R. A. Letcher, A. J. Jakeman, B. F. W. Croke

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Nodal network approaches are a common framework for considering water allocation problems. In this type of model framework, a river basin is represented as a series of nodes, where nodes generally represent key points of extraction along the stream. Agricultural production and other water use decisions generally interact with the stream system in two ways: they can affect the generation of runoff and thus the volume of water reaching the stream; or, they may involve direct extraction or use of streamflow once it has reached the stream. This paper provides a generalised conceptual framework for considering these types of interactions …

A Proposed Rule-Discovery Scheme For Regionalisation Of Rainfall-Runoff Characteristics In New South Wales, Australia, J. M. Spate, B. F. W. Croke, J. P. Norton Jul 2004

A Proposed Rule-Discovery Scheme For Regionalisation Of Rainfall-Runoff Characteristics In New South Wales, Australia, J. M. Spate, B. F. W. Croke, J. P. Norton

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

A project which sets out to explore alternative methods of regionalisation for prediction ofstreamflow in ungauged catchments is described. A commonly applied regionalisation methodology estimatesmodel parameters for the ungauged basin from multiple linear regressions between parameters and catchmentattributes, calibrated on gauged catchments. Its effectiveness is limited by the availability of sufficientlysimilar, well gauged and modelled catchments. In this paper a different approach is adopted, employing a datamining methodology to seek a useful set of rules in the catchment attribute space with parameter values asconsequent. The outline of a hypothesis testing algorithm is given, along with a suggestion for a newdiscretisation …

Uncertainties In Lca Of Plant-Growth Regulators And Implications On Decision-Making, Georg Geisler, Stefanie Hellweg, Konrad Hungerbühler Jul 2004

Uncertainties In Lca Of Plant-Growth Regulators And Implications On Decision-Making, Georg Geisler, Stefanie Hellweg, Konrad Hungerbühler

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Uncertainty assessment in LCA enables the evaluation of the significance of results, which is important for providing sound decision-support. In this work, an LCA was performed on two plant-growth regulators considering various sources of uncertainty: In the LCI, uncertainties of imprecise measurements of elementary flows, temporal and spatial variation, and different production processes were assessed. In the characterisation phase, the uncertainties of substance properties and the composition of sum-parameters were considered. These uncertainties were expressed as probability distributions and assessed via stochastic modelling (Monte-Carlo Simulation). For most LCI- and LCIA-data, generic uncertainty ranges were used. Uncertainties due to assumptions on …

Applying Agent Technology In Environmental Management Systems Under Real-Time Constraints, Ioannis N. Athanasiadis, P. A. Mitkas Jul 2004

Applying Agent Technology In Environmental Management Systems Under Real-Time Constraints, Ioannis N. Athanasiadis, P. A. Mitkas

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Changes in the natural environment affect our quality of life. Thus, government, industry, and the public call for integrated environmental management systems capable of supplying all parties with validated, accurate and timely information. The ‘near real-time’ constraint reveals two critical problems in delivering such tasks: the low quality or absence of data, and the changing conditions over a long period. These problems are common in environmental monitoring networks and although harmless for off-line studies, they may be serious for near real-time systems. In this work, we discuss the problem space of near real-time reporting Environmental Management Systems and present a …

Chemometrics Modelling Of Environmental Data, Roma Tauler, Emma Peré-Trepat, Silvia Lacorte, Damià Barceló

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Environmental monitoring studies produce huge amounts of concentration values of chemicalsspread at distant geographical sites and during different time periods. Moreover, the content of chemicals isalso estimated at different environmental compartments (i.e. air, water, sediments, biota...). All these datavalues are difficult to cope and evaluate in a simple and fast way using simple univariate statistical tools,specially due to their large number and to their multivariate correlation. In order to discover relevant patternswithin large multivariate data sets, the application of modern chemometric methods based in statisticalmultivariate data analysis and in Factor Analysis is proposed. The basic assumption of chemometric methodsis that …

Regionalisation Of Rainfall-Runoff Models, B. F. W. Croke, J. P. Norton Jul 2004

Regionalisation Of Rainfall-Runoff Models, B. F. W. Croke, J. P. Norton

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

A new approach to regionalisation for prediction of flow characteristics in ungauged catchments is presented. If flows in ungauged catchments are to be predicted using calibrated rainfall-runoff models, regional relationships between the parameters of such models and catchment attributes must be determined. This is only possible with parsimonious models (fewer than about 7 parameters), and even then there are considerable uncertainties in the prediction of ungauged catchment response, due to the accumulation of uncertainties in the regionalization process for estimating parameter values. The uncertainties in the catchment attributes and climate data used for the ungauged catchment combine with the uncertainty …

Species Diversity And Habitat Of Grassland Passerines During Grazing Of A Prescribe-Burned, Mixed-Grass Prairie, Robert F. Danley, Robert K. Murphy, Elizabeth M. Madden

Western North American Naturalist

No published data exist on responses of grassland passerines and their habitat to combined grazing and burning treatments in northern mixed-grass prairie. At Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge (LNWR) in northwestern North Dakota, we monitored breeding bird occurrence, abundance, and habitat during successive annual grazing treatments (1998–2000) on 5 prescribe-burned, mixed-grass prairie management units (range = 50–534 ha, each burned 3–6 times in the previous 10–20 years). All breeding passerine species characteristic of upland, northern mixed-grass prairie were common (>10% occurrence) during at least 1 of 3 years on burned and grazed units, except Chestnut-collared Longspur (Calcarius ornatus), …

Use Of Catchment Attributes To Identify The Scale And Values Of Distributed Parameters In Surface And Sub-Surface Conceptual Hydrology Models, P. W. Carlile, A. J. Jakeman, B. F. W. Croke, B. G. Lees Jul 2002

Use Of Catchment Attributes To Identify The Scale And Values Of Distributed Parameters In Surface And Sub-Surface Conceptual Hydrology Models, P. W. Carlile, A. J. Jakeman, B. F. W. Croke, B. G. Lees

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Improved prediction for problems in catchment hydrology requires an ability to spatially disaggregate and connect surface and sub-surface components. This paper considers two hydrological models for use in such disaggregation and coupling: a lumped conceptual rainfall-runoff model (IHACRES) and a physics based conceptual groundwater discharge model. Smaller gauged catchments in the vicinity can be used to regionalise and parameterise the coupled model using catchment attributes prior to running the model in a larger catchment with fewer gauges. Regionalisation in gauged catchments at appropriate scales would capture the uncertainty of the relationships between catchment attributes and model parameter values, including the …

Modelling Of Pop Environmental Persistence And Long Range Transport By Qsar And Chemometric Approaches, Paola Gramatica, Ester Papa, Stefano Pozzi Jul 2002

Modelling Of Pop Environmental Persistence And Long Range Transport By Qsar And Chemometric Approaches, Paola Gramatica, Ester Papa, Stefano Pozzi

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The Long Range Transport (LRT) potential of chemicals is due to the combination of theirpersistence in the environment and their inherent tendency towards mobility, and is an undesirableproperty of POPs (Persistent Organic Pollutants). Finding the best combination of chemical properties tominimize LRT is a multicriteria problem that can be approached by MultiCriteria Decision-Making(MCDM) techniques. Utility functions have been applied to two proposed indexes, the “globalpersistence index” and the “mobility index”, allowing a ranking of the studied chemicals according totheir LRT potential. The “global persistence index” was obtained by linear combination, by PrincipalComponent Analysis of the half-life data in various environmental …

Ecological Modelling Using The Spreadsheet Model Tabsim, L. Matejicek Jul 2002

Ecological Modelling Using The Spreadsheet Model Tabsim, L. Matejicek

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Simulation of ecological systems represents more sophisticated analysis, which extends possibilities of standard research methods. In contrast to majority of computer languages available for calculation of dynamic models, spreadsheet models (TabSim-Table Simulation) offer to spend more effort on investigating the features of a dynamic system, rather than writing a program code. The program structures are replaced by table objects, which represent basic dynamic relations (integrations and time delays) and static relations (described by built-in functions and user functions). In addition to calculation of dynamic and static relations, the wide range of built-in graphs and graphic objects can be used for …

Data-Based Mechanistic And Top-Down Modelling, Peter C. Young Jul 2002

Data-Based Mechanistic And Top-Down Modelling, Peter C. Young

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The paper discusses the problems associated with environmental modelling and the need to develop simple, ‘top-down’, stochastic models that match the information content of the data. It introduces the concept of Data-Based Mechanistic (DBM) modelling and contrasts its inductive approach with the hypotheticodeductive approaches that dominate most environmental modelling research at the present time. The major methodological procedures utilized in DBM modelling are outlined and two practical examples illustrate how it has been applied in a hydrological and water quality context. The use of this same methodology as a basis for the evaluation and simplification of large deterministic simulation models …

Experiences In An Integrated Assessment Of Water Allocation Issues In The Namoi River Catchment, Australia, R. A. Letcher, A. J. Jakeman Jul 2002

Experiences In An Integrated Assessment Of Water Allocation Issues In The Namoi River Catchment, Australia, R. A. Letcher, A. J. Jakeman

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The Namoi river catchment in northern NSW is an important irrigation region. However water resources in this region are increasingly stressed. Both surface and groundwater supplies are overallocated in many areas of the catchment. Management options to reduce allocations in line with available supply and environmental requirements are expected to have long term social, economic and environmental implications. This paper looks at an integrated assessment model which has been developed to assess long term outcomes of management options for water allocation in the catchment. The development of this tool has been undertaken using an iterative approach with key stakeholders. Feedback …
