Communicating Uncertainty as a Driving Force for Geosciences

March 17-19, 2025, University of Tübingen, Germany

This 3-day in-person training workshop aims to equip Early Career Researchers with knowledge and skills needed to effectively account for and communicate uncertainty in geosciences with their peers and public audience(s). The workshop is motivated by a need for achieving meaningful insights from geosciences outputs (e.g., maps, models, simulations, time series) which are used for decision-making, but often presented unaccompanied by uncertainty estimates. The content focus will be on uncertainty communication related to global challenges (disaster risk and climate change) for which geosciences have an essential role to play in finding solutions.
