This volume contains selected up-to-date professional papers prepared by
specialists from various disciplines related to geosciences and water
resources. Thirty papers discuss different aspects of environmental data
modeling. It provides a forum bringing together contributions, both
theoretical and applied, with special attention to Water in Ecosystems,
Global Atmospheric Evolution, Space and Earth Remote Sensing, Regional
Environmental Changes, Accessing Geoenvironmental Data and
Ecotoxicological Issues. "Geosciences and Water Resources: Environmental
Data Modeling" is now the fourth volume in the Series "Data and
Knowledge in a Changing World". Launched by CODATA after the 14th
International Conference of the Committee on Data for Sciences and
Technology, in Chambery, the purpose of this new Series is to collect
from widely varying fields a wealth of information pertaining to the
intelligent exploitation of data in science and technology and to make
that information available to a multidisciplinary community. The present
series encompasses a broad range of contributions, including
computer-related handling and visualization of data, to the major
scientific, tech- nical, medical and social fields. The titles of the
previous published volumes are: The Information Revolution: Impact on
Science and Technology. Modeling Complex Data for Creating Information.
Industrial Information and Design Issues.
