Carriger, J. AND R. Parker. Conceptual Bayesian Networks for Supporting Contaminated Site Ecological Risk Assessments and Remediation Management. 6th Annual BayesiaLab Conference, Chicago, IL, November 01 - 02, 2018.
Impact/Purpose:
This presentation will explore how Bayesian networks may provide useful opportunities for conceptual model development in ecological risk assessment and remediation of contaminated sites. To present a novel application of Bayesian networks at the 2018 Bayesialab Conference in Chicago.
Description:
In contaminated site assessments, knowledge of the direct and indirect factors related to stressor impacts on individuals, populations, and communities of organisms is used for designing alternatives that manage or remediate ecological risks. The ecological risk assessment (ERA) framework (USEPA, 1998) provides a logical approach that can help generate this type of information.
