A framework for characterising and evaluating the effectiveness of environmental modelling
2019
Environmental Modelling & Software
Preserved Fulltext
This paper redefines evaluation as a multi-dimensional and multi-perspective concept, and proposes a more complete framework for identifying and measuring the effectiveness of modelling that serves the ...
Under this framework, evaluation considers a broader set of success criteria, and emphasises the importance of contextual factors in determining the relevance and outcome of the criteria. ...
There are some available frameworks for evaluating environmental models, however these frameworks are highly technical with a focus on characterising the uncertainty and performance of the actual model ...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to supply an open method for weighting different environmental impacts, open to basically different evaluation approaches and open to easy revisions. ...
Results All methods are internally inconsistent, as in terms of treatment of place and time, and they are incomplete, lacking environmental interventions and effect routes. ...
The basic choice on a framework for evaluation, the internal inconsistencies in underlying modelling, and the rather haphazard nature of many choices involved all indicate that the choice for one method ...
