$120,000.00
Risk Management and Resource Optimization for Marine Industries
FY 2023-24
Summary
Changing technical, socio-economic, and environmental contexts introduce new risks to marine industries. Increasing the understanding of risks of specific activities, such as the effects of shipping disruptions to coastal communities, or oil spills in Arctic environments, can enable industrial and societal actors to make better-informed decisions. Simultaneously, there is a need to increase the scientific understanding and provide empirical evidence of fundamental issues in risk research, such as the validity of risk analysis and uncertainty assessment methods. The combination of applied and fundamental risk research has the long-term aim to optimize use of organizational resources, improving safety.
