Cluster Objectives

An important end use for Earth observational data is to support better informed decisions and policies in the commercial and public sectors. Observations (both real-time and historical) play an important role in reducing the uncertainty inherent in environmental-related decisions. Scientific models provide further value in predicting future states and scenarios, such as those associated with increased greenhouse gas emissions. This Cluster addresses topics such as:

the economic value of Earth science data in decision settings;
data requirements for environmental decisions, policies, and IPCC;
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.
