Beschreibung
Modeling Uncertainty in the Earth Sciences highlights thevarious issues, techniques and practical modeling tools availablefor modeling the uncertainty of complex Earth systems and theimpact that it has on practical situations. The aim of the book isto provide an introductory overview which covers a broad range oftried-and-tested tools. Descriptions of concepts, philosophies,challenges, methodologies and workflows give the reader anunderstanding of the best way to make decisions under uncertaintyfor Earth Science problems.
The book covers key issues such as: Spatial and time aspect;large complexity and dimensionality; computation power; costs of'engineering' the Earth; uncertainty in the modeling and decisionprocess. Focusing on reliable and practical methods this bookprovides an invaluable primer for the complex area of decisionmaking with uncertainty in the Earth Sciences.

"This is an outstanding contribution to the currentliterature, particularly since this book is aimed at an audience ofyoung researchers and modelers that may just be starting theircareers." (Mathematical Geoscience, 29 November2012)
"Overall, I consider this book to be a good addition to arather limited choice of books for teaching an introductory courseon modeling uncertainty in the Earth and environmental sciences. Asthe author points out in the preface of the book, this is not anencyclopedia on modeling uncertainty, but rather an introduction tothe topic that can lead the reader to deeper pursuits on modelinguncertainty." (Bulletin of the AmericanMeteorological Society, 1 October 2012)
"The book, Modeling Uncertainty in the Earth Sciences, canbe of great use for anyone involved with making decisions in Earthsciences. It gives a solid overview on how decisions in EarthScience can be improved by explicit uncertaintymodeling." (Environmental Earth Science, 1October 2012)
