Description	The course focuses on different modelling approaches used in environmental sciences with examples given from real applications to cryosphere problems. Theoretical concepts as well as practical exercises at the computer will be considered in this course.
Objectifs de formation	The development of numerical models is a logical extension of earlier descriptive tools used to analyse the environment such as drawings, classifications and maps. Models should always be seen as a complement to other techiques used in geosciences, and they also provide an important means of testing and evaluating hypotheses. It may be true that the pecularities of mathematical notation and technical methods in modelling form a vocabulary which is difficult to penetrate for some, but we believe that the fundamental basis of modelling is one which, like fieldwork and laboratory experimentation, can be applied by any scientist. In this course we introduce the theoretical concepts of some models, and the students get the chance to work with these models at the computers.
