| Jerry Ravetz |
|
 |
Independent scholar and self-employed consultant,
working mainly on problems of the management of uncertainty in risks
and environmental issues.
With S.O.
Funtowicz, He has developed a notational system, "NUSAP", for the
representation of uncertainty in quantitative information; and we have
also developed the concept of "Post-Normal Science", a mode of scientific problem-solving
appropriate to policy issues where facts are uncertain, values in
dispute, stakes high and decisions urgent.
