Sustainable Environmental Decisions GroupResearch Group Leader: Mark Borsuk, Assistant Professor of Engineering |
The Sustainable Environmental Decisions Group (SEDG) focuses on the development and application of engineering-based methods and models for the integration of quantitative information on natural, socioeconomic, and technological systems. The goal of this work is to improve insight into system functioning and provide a rational basis for individual, organizational, and public policy decisions regarding the environment and human health. |
Consistent with the emerging discipline of Sustainability Science and Engineering, the work of SEDG is driven by the following three research objectives: |
|||
|
1. To develop tools for integrating data into decision-making |
 |
|
|
|
2. To advance the ability of organizations, governments, and individuals to make decisions that account for risk and uncertainty |
 |
|
|
|
3. To guide long-range environmental policy by developing quantitative models that integrate technical, economic, political, and social factors |
