Case studies
Consequences and Uncertainties
Research results from NRCan and other sources were used to understand and clarify the consequences of the alternatives. SDM methods were used to develop performance measures, and these were used to categorize and organize consequences.
Whenever possible, probability distributions were used to conceptualize the uncertainties of climate change in the decision process. Otherwise, uncertainty was characterized as low, medium, or high (severe). Uncertainties were presented to decision makers through tables, charts, and verbal indicators.
