Environmental Modeling and Assessment [staff]

Environmental modelling and assessment group works on environmental modelling and assessment. Such modelling includes integrated mass transfer, migration and accumulation of pollutants in/through environmental media. Special emphasis is on uncertainty and validity of the modelling.

The main activities of the group are:

• Education: We train young researchers in most advanced techniques of environmental modelling and assessment. Our staff teach different courses related to environmantal modelling, assessment ,and management at graduate and post graduate level.
• Research and Development: We focus on the uncertainty of modelling of natural systems (e.g., uncertainties in modelling of a geospheric/biospheric interface). We develop models and modelling techniques, collaborate with laboratories in creating valid data for the purpose of trustworthy modelling, and explore validity of the models which simulate future events and states.
• Consultancy and other expert work: The main activity in this area is environmental impact assessment. We develop expert systems and evaluation procedures for most complex environmental issues in the country, environmental policy development., and support of decision making. We also work on strategic environmental assessments.
