This weekend I started to read Environmental Modeling: An introduction by Jo Smith and Pete Smith. I picked up at the library when I was looking for a book by Carl Walters, on adaptive management, which I also hope to read this week. It caught my attention for being straightforward and easy to digest. So far I have enjoyed it very much, since it has given me new ideas about how to approach my dissertation on the Llobregat River. The material is clearly explained, and the examples provide intuition for the statistical calculations made. The authors also point out the problems, biases or misinterpretations that frequently are made when using environmental models to address real world problems.
