7.4 Method

The method used to manage uncertainty and hence, the types of information generated, is a crucial aspect of communicating and reporting uncertainty.

1. What methods were used to address uncertainty management? Check all that apply (see van der Sluijs et al., 2003):

 Uncertainty analysis (e.g. statistical analysis)

 Quality assurance (e.g. NUSAP, Pedigree)

 Explanatory frameworks (e.g. cultural theory)

 Other, specify:

2. Uncertainty methods can operate in the foreground when applied explicitly to produce information on uncertainty (e.g. written material, graphs), or in the background as when run behind a model and results are embedded in the output (e.g. model outputs, scenarios). Are the methods used primarily:

 background

 mixed

 foreground
