Features: Environmental Systems Analysis is one of the fundamental disciplines in Environmental Science and Engineering, primarily focusing on the modeling, optimization, and scientific decision-making of environmental systems. The content of this book is divided into eleven chapters, providing a detailed discussion on the principles and methods of environmental systems modeling, introducing environmental systems planning techniques, and the basic methods of environmental systems decision-making. The book includes numerous examples, with exercises and reflection questions at the end of each chapter, offering strong knowledge and reference value. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in universities, as well as a reference book for technicians and managers engaged in environmental assessment, planning, and management. The book compiles the fundamental content of environmental systems modeling, optimization, and scientific decision-making, totaling eleven chapters. Chapters 1 to 3 belong to the General Introduction section, covering common issues in environmental systems analysis; Chapters 4 to 8 are the Modeling section, focusing on the modeling of environmental systems; and Chapters 9 to 11 are the Planning and Decision-Making section, discussing the optimization and scientific decision-making of environmental systems. Environmental Systems Analysis is a highly interdisciplinary discipline, requiring knowledge support from multiple fields. The disciplinary foundations of Environmental Systems Analysis include mathematics, operations research, environmental science, and environmental engineering. The book is rich in content, and by selecting different chapters, it can be adapted to the teaching requirements of undergraduate and graduate students in environmental science and engineering, as well as serving as a reference book for technicians and managers involved in environmental quality assessment, planning, and management. The book is divided into eleven chapters, discussing the principles and methods of environmental systems modeling, introducing environmental systems planning techniques, and the basic methods of environmental systems decision-making.
