Use of an Enhanced Adaptive Management Approach for Integration of Mercury Cycling Modeling, Relative Risk Modeling, and Monitoring Data

Describes an enhanced adaptive management (EAM) decision-support approach that integrates outputs from a dynamic Mercury Cycling Model, a Relative Risk Model, and statistical monitoring analyses to evaluate remedial alternatives for the South River. The spreadsheet-based multi-criteria model (MAVT) captures stakeholder weights, predicts outcomes (water, sediment, biota), and informs monitoring and adaptive updates.
