Understanding and Communicating Environmental Risk Assessment

Risk and Uncertainty underpin environmental science, particularly where data are used for policy formulation, however understanding about risk and uncertainty can be limited by the fact that risk does not belong to a specific conventional academic discipline. Our course will address this gap in knowledge and will provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand, assess, manage and communicate environmental risk and uncertainty. This course is being delivered as part of The Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Advanced Training Short Courses (ATSC) program (http://www.nerc.ac.uk/funding/available/postgrad/advanced/atsc/course-list2016-17/).
