What is environmental modelling?

Environmental modelling is the process of using mathematical, computational, or statistical techniques to represent and simulate natural systems and processes, such as air and water quality, climate change, or ecosystem dynamics. These models help scientists and policymakers understand complex environmental interactions, predict future changes, and evaluate the impact of human activities or policy decisions. Environmental modellers use data from field observations and experiments to develop, calibrate, and validate their models, ensuring accurate and reliable predictions.
