In-Depth Information
In Chap. 22, Kraft focuses on integrated modelling: He describes how models
from different disciplines are coupled and their complex results are aggregated into
a modelling framework, for which Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are
commonly used. The author brings several application examples from catchment
models and models that are dealing with coastal and marine landscapes.
The eight contributions in this section illustrate how to use models to understand
complex problems and issues that could not easily be grasped otherwise. Although
we present the chapters in a sequence following complexity considerations, you, the
reader, should feel free to use any starting point that suits your preferences as the
chapters represent independent cases.
