Uncertainty Analyses in Environmental Sciences and Hydrogeology

<p>This book highlights several methods and quantitative implementations of both probabilistic and fuzzy-based approaches to uncertainty quantification and uncertainty propagation through environmental subsurface pollution models with uncertain input parameters. The book focuses on methods as well as applications in hydrogeology soil hydrology groundwater contamination and related areas (e.g. corrosion of nuclear waste canisters). The methods are illustrated for a broad spectrum of models from non-differential I/O models to complex PDE solvers including a novel 3D quasi-analytical model of contaminant transport and a site-specific computer model of dissolved contaminant migration from a DNAPL (Dense Non Aqueous Phase Liquid) pollution source.</p>
