A new hypervolume approach for assessing environmental risks.
Assessing risks of uncertain but potentially damaging events, such as environmental disturbances, disease outbreaks and pest invasions, is a key analytical step that informs subsequent decisions about how to respond to these events. We present a continuous risk measure that can be used to assess and prioritize environmental risks from uncertain data in a geographical domain. The metric is influ...
متن کاملComparative health and environmental risks for various energy sources
by S. Haddad I he first attempts to compare the environmenand tal and health impacts of different electricity R. Dones production systems were made in the 1970s. At that time, fundamental decisions had to be taken on the best way of satisfying the rapid growth in electricity demand. Promoters of this generation of comparative studies were basically inspired by a willingness to rank on a unidime...
متن کاملAsteroids: Assessing Catastrophic Risks
We evaluate two risk profiles: i global warming risks and ii collisions with asteroids that can cause the extinction of our species. The expected values computed for these two risks suggest that no action will be taken to avoid extinction. The result is somewhat counterintuitive, but it is typical of the results of using classic decision theory to evaluate catastrophic risks in the distant futu...
