Parameter Identification and Inverse Problems in Hydrology, Geology and Ecology

This volume contains the results of the workshop on "Parameter Identification and Inverse Problems in Hydrology, Geology and Ecology", held in Karlsruhe, Germany, and represents a selection of contributions from the various groups of participants. The reviewed, invited and contributed articles are grouped according to the broad headings of hydrology, non-linear diffusion and soil physics, geophysical methods, mathematical analysis of inverse and ill-posed problems and parallel algorithms for inverse problems. The book also contains the three-lecture tutorial "Introduction to Inverse Problems of Non-linear Partial Differential Equations for Physicists, Scientists and Engineers" by Paul DuChateau, held at the Workshop.
