Modeling Uncertainty in the Earth Sciences highlights thevarious issues, techniques and practical modeling tools availablefor modeling the uncertainty of complex Earth systems and theimpact that it has on practical situations. The aim of the book isto provide an introductory overview which covers a broad range oftried-and-tested tools. Descriptions of concepts, philosophies,challenges, methodologies and workflows give the reader anunderstanding of the best way to make decisions under uncertaintyfor Earth Science problems.
The book covers key issues such as: Spatial and time aspect;large complexity and dimensionality; computation power; costs of'engineering' the Earth; uncertainty in the modeling and decisionprocess. Focusing on reliable and practical methods this bookprovides an invaluable primer for the complex area of decisionmaking with uncertainty in the Earth Sciences.
