Environmental Modelling
Climate and Weather Modeling
Due to the rapid increase of global temperature, it has become rather hard to predict how the weather might change, due to which a lot of people in different industries can’t make plans due to uncertainties. Even though we have satellites for climate and weather forecasting, predicting for particular areas is a daunting task. Hence, with the help of software and other tools, climate and weather modeling for specific regions can be done. As these will be computer-based, thus, their efficiency will be self-evident, and with 3D viewing provided, a vivid picture of all the happenings and changes in the climate and weather can be calculated.
Land degradation Modeling
In areas that have low to no rainfall, land degradation is a common problem. When soil erosion happens at a very extended rate it leads to land degradation and causes environmental problems in the surrounding ecology. Hence, soil testing and assessment on a timely basis act as a pivotal way in curbing this issue. Through techniques like land degradation mapping, landscape changes, an extrapolated imagery can be devised and the necessary steps needed to be taken in order to reduce it should be implemented in the susceptible areas.
Hydrological and Hydrogeological Modeling
A hydrologic model is a simplification of a real-world system (e.g., surface water, soil water, wetland, groundwater, estuary) that aids in understanding, predicting, and managing water resources. Both the flow and quality of water are commonly studied using hydrologic models.” Such hydrological models are very useful for areas that are facing water shortages or nearing a water crisis. Hydrogeological modeling is used for understanding the type of soil division particular areas have. By using analytical and numerical approaches, a model is created for generating a better understanding of the water and soil ecology of an area.
Contaminant/Pollution Modeling
We all are familiar with the various types of contaminations that are affecting some of the most basic natural resources that we use on a daily basis. Some of the most prominent ones brings:
1. Water Pollution
2. Air Pollution
3. Noise Pollution
4. Land Pollution
While due to water pollution the marine life and our drinking water gets affected, air pollution leads to breathing problems, land pollution leads to groundwater contamination, and much more. With a model that can easily monitor all these shortcomings, the best way forward can be put to use while dealing with it. When we have accurate data about how much restoration work we have to do in order to make the situations more balanced, better policies can be formulated.
