Ecological Risk Assessment

2012
Ecological risk assessment (ERA) has matured since the 1970s when it began as ecological assessment. ERA has its foundations in human health risk assessment, and as such, similarities exist between the two processes. However, the inherent complex nature of the ecosystem and its interwoven processes make the practice typically more complex for ERA than ...

Modeling Extreme Risks in Ecology

Risk Analysis, 2012
Extreme risks in ecology are typified by circumstances in which data are sporadic or unavailable, understanding is poor, and decisions are urgently needed. Expert judgments are pervasive and disagreements among experts are commonplace. We outline approaches to evaluating extreme risks in ecology that rely on stochastic simulation, with a particular ...

Risk Ecology

2018
Two on-going projects I presented at HGI workshop exemplified my effort to utilize both analog and digital media to explore the aesthetics and ontology of Risk Ecology. Beyond the visualization of known or idealized conditions, we can also represent failure—imperfections, deformations, and counter-construction where risks and vulnerabilities are ...
