Drawing on leading researchers in the field, it provides a guided tour of selected methods and tools to help deal with issues as climate change, depleting biodiversity and biocapacity, and more general atmospheric, water and soil pollution problems. Individual peer-reviewed chapters look at applying stochastic reasoning on difficult issues arising in EDM under uncertainty; applying stochastic or robust programming methods to techno-economic modeling of energy/environment interactions; important consequences of uncertainty inherent in weather patterns, the El Nino phenomenon and anticipated climate change; exploiting tools of decision analysis, utility theory and optimal control theory to account for differences in time scales between human development processes and the natural processes of the biosphere; and methods that combine statistical and decision analyses that can support a variety of environmental management problems. This important new work will be of special interest to a wide range of researchers, students, and practitioners in environmental economics, OR/MS, environmental and earth sciences, climatologists, and risk assessment. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 Environmental management. 650 0 Environmental policy |xEconomic aspects. 776 |z1-4419-1130-8 776 |z1-4419-1129-4 760 0 |tInternational Series in Operations Research & Management Science |w(CKB)991042742086428 |w(DLC)sf87030020 700 1 Filar, Jerzey A., |d1949- 700 1 Haurie, A. |q(Alain), |d1940- 830 0 International series in operations research & management science. 906 BOOK
