If a planetary-mass body were present in the asteroid belt, the orbits of the terrestrial planets and those of the giant planets would be more closely coupled. A greater exchange of angular momentum could affect the stability of the terrestrial planets. Moreover, the planet in the asteroid belt coul

Spatial modelling of the terrestrial environment encompasses a wide variety of research activities in the Earth and environmental sciences. In this volume we have collected examples from a small subset of those activities which serve to illustrate some important challenges that modellers currently f
