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.
