From the Delta Independent Science Board:
To build an understanding of scientific tools and concepts that can increase the capacity to anticipate and adapt to the growing uncertainty of future conditions in California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the Delta Independent Science Board began a review of decision-making under deep uncertainty in the spring of 2023. The review explores the techniques that could be applied to the Delta to better characterize and prepare for uncertainty and improve the decision-making processes.
As part of this review effort, the Delta ISB hosted a five-part seminar series that introduced concepts from the decision sciences to the broader Delta community. The first report, introducing key concepts and a synthesis of seminar presentations on decision-making under deep uncertainty, is now available.
A subsequent report, including findings and recommendations from the full review, will be released next year.
