Risk benchmarking is a statistical method used by risk assessors to set exposure limits for environmental contaminants. Originally described for toxicological endpoints, the approach has moved into broader areas. This talk explores some of these, including a novel application to urban terrorism vulnerability. Discussion will involve how the benchmark paradigm may further translate with other environmental, water-related data.
This presentation will be provided in conjunction with the Statistics GIDP Colloquium.
