Abstract

Various aspects to deal with compelling and contemporary environmental management issues based on a range of carbon-based chemicals are considered by multimedia-modeling approaches. The principle dimensions of the environmental problems include scoping of multiple media, multiple stressors, multiple pathways, multiple receptors, and multiple spatial and temporal scales. Adaptive assessment and management frameworks that can optimize integrated knowledge and data across the chemical, biological, and physical sciences. Defining the future challenges and needs for enhanced integrated modeling for decision-making across local to global scales results in an increase in world energy consumption to 57% from 2004 to 2030. A significant expansion in capacity across the environmental community is required to enhance multimedia modeling.
