QUANTIFYING HOW WE USE OUR LANDSCAPE
Meeting of the Environmental Statistics Section
DATE: 1 - 4pm Tuesday 13 March 2012
VENUE: Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX
SUMMARY: How we collect environmental data and use it to influence the management of our natural assets is a research area of importance to all of us as population pressures and changing climates alter our expectations. Ecosystem services have recently been promoted as a way to improve the decision process and these talks will look at issues of environmental monitoring and policy to examine what may be the realistic goals of this approach.
