In this paper, I review coupled physical‐biological models over the last four years. For the purposes of this report, I will restrict my review to work performed in the U.S. It should be recognized, however, that excellent work in this area is being done in Europe, South Africa and Japan. I do not claim this review to be exhaustive, and I apologize to those whose work I passed over. Rather, I try to show trends in the field: the types of model being employed, the ways in which they are used, and the prospects for the future.
