In this paper we review recent progress in the use of reduced complexity models for
predicting floodplain inundation. We review the theoretical basis for modelling floodplain …

Modeling the impact of non-point source pollution in catchments is a complex problem, and
one that has troubled natural resource managers for many years. The development of …

Geographical data are used in so many aspects of our lives today, ranging from disaster
relief operations through to finding directions on our mobile phones. We can all be data …

In urban systems modeling, there are many elaborate dynamic models based on intricate
decision processes whose simulation must be based on customized software if their space …

Despite the recognition of cellular automata (CA) as a flexible and powerful tool for urban
growth simulation, the calibration of CA had been largely heuristic until recent efforts to …

An increasing number of models for predicting land use change in rapidly urbanizing
regions are being proposed and built using ideas from cellular automata (CA). Calibrating …

Process-based spatio-temporal models simulate changes over time using equations that
represent real world processes. They are widely applied in geography and earth science …

Spatial dimensions need to be properly captured if modeling and engineering techniques
