Modeling Exercise Ideas

Here are the ideas for modeling exercises contributed by workshop participants. During the workshop we will work to develop one or more of these ideas into full-fledged teaching activities.

• Modeling a social-ecological system
• Nutrient addition from atmospheric deposition
• Thermal cooling of a dike
• Ocean predator/prey populations
• Channel planform adjustment
• ENSO in a warming climate
• Impact of climate change on endangered fish population in Pyramid Lake
• Modeling an Acid Mine Drainage System
• Carbon flux in the atmosphere
• Exploring Marine Carbon Isotope Excursions
• Modeling Fractures in Thermal Systems: Thermal-Mechanical Feedback and Vein Formation
• Water Vapor Feedback on Earth's Warming Atmosphere
• An energy balance model of snowpack
• Reservoir Routing
• Bioturbation
• Modeling ocean acidification
• Metasomatism: Marble Hosted Talc Deposits
