| Environmental
systems modeling can provide for
a modular, distributed and a web-based
approach to air, environmental, sub-surface
quality predictive & deductive
modeling, with specific applications
to regional and bi-national issues
affecting the semi-arid coastal
region of South Texas and Texas-Mexico
region. The modeling framework
borrows from existing expertise
within Texas and from the recent
advances in global scale modeling
supported by the U.S. Global Change
Research Program. Significant
sub-projects and modeling systems
are being developed to address
the interactions between the urban,
industrial, agricultural and natural
systems. |

The primary focus of this research
area is to identify the myriad
biogeochemical interactions
from a multi-media perspective
and incorporate this into the
modeling framework. An expert
systems approach is being utilized
to design an environmental knowledge
management system for the study
region. The models themselves
are highly modularized and adapted
to multiple computation platforms.
This effort will be performed
in a collaborative fashion with
other HSI/MIs and allied research
institutions within this region.
