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.
