About the Cluster

Earth Science data and research can play an important role in informing decision making activities and applications in the commercial and public sectors. One of the main priorities of the Decisions cluster is to support ESIP member evaluation activities and assessments concerning the value of Earth Science data.

The Cluster also addresses topics such as:

  • The value of scientific models in predicting future states and scenarios, such as the IPCC
  • the economic value of Earth science data in decision settings;
  • data requirements for environmental decisions-making
  • decision making under deep environmental uncertainty;
  • collaborative environments for assessing scenarios and consequences of decisions involving multiple stakeholders;
  • case studies in environmental decision-making;
  • integrated physical-economic models;
  • perceptions of long-term climatic uncertainty;
  • tools, services, models, and associated standards for data-driven decision support.
