Description: Modeling Environmental Policy demonstrates the link between the physical models of the environment and the policy analysis in support of policy making. Each chapter addresses an environmental policy issue using a quantitative modeling approach. The volume addresses three general areas of environmental policy - non-point source pollution in the agricultural sector, pollution generated in the extractive industries, and transboundary pollutants from burning fossil fuels.

The book concludes by discussing the modeling efforts and the use of mathematical models in general.
