Modeling of Earth System and Sustainability

• Purpose of mathematical modeling and its methodology

•Mathematical representation of earth system

• Equilibrium models: energy and mass balance at earth surface, chemical reactions in weatheringprocesses

• Growth and decay models: Biogeochemical cycles

• Transport process models: Advection and diffusion processes, Energy and mass distribution in soils,Mass transfer on the earth surface

• Distribution of events: Probability distribution of disaster events

• Control of risks in earth system: Optimization models, sustainability models

• Matlab/Python exercises (tutorial and homework)
