Modelling is a crucial part of today’s science. Particularly in agronomy, ecology, soil sciences and environmental sciences, where models are used for assessing sensitivity of systems to disturbances or changes in external factors, and for predictions of future system states. This course provides an introduction to modelling. Modelling concepts will be dealt with in detail, going through the basic steps to be taken.
The main themes of this course are:
- Modelling concepts
- Model design
- Model use
- Calibration and validation
- Sensitivity and uncertainty
- Linearity and complexity
- Reporting on model studies
