THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING

Course objectives

The course provides the basic instruments for the development and application of numerical model finalized to the study of the pollutant dispersion in atmosphere, sea waters, surface waters, groundwaters and soil. The course provides students with the knowledge for the application of complex models applied to the contamination of soils, surface waters and groundwaters. The course is very applicative and in addition to providing the knowledge necessary for the interpretation of chemical-physical phenomena in the sectors (knowledge and understanding) it allows the student to work with models with applications to case studies (applying knowledge and understanding). The use and practice of these environmental knowledge tools will be accompanied by specific insights that will allow the student to reach the decision-making capacity necessary to represent the problems encountered in the job (make judgments). These skills will be an integral part of the complete environmental training necessary for an advanced position in the world of work (learning skills)
