The book presents a comprehensive reference source for AQUATOX model applications that can be used for an ecological modeling course at the graduate level. Throughout the text, chapter headings are organized to help users understand model building processes, state variables, and components. Case studies are provided to enhance learning and help readers assemble and calibrate their own AQUATOX applications. Includes a detailed description of AQUATOX equations for researchers and practitioners (including regulatory agencies) Presents study files, descriptions of implementation, and the data used as a starting point for new study applications Explores case studies of various sample applications and how specific problems are approached, including eutrophication issues in lakes and streams and natural resource damages in Estuarine Areas
