ECOPOTENTIAL
Project description
Within ECOPOTENTIAL, a modelling approach that integrates different types of information into Bayesian networks (BNs) was developed. BNs are commonly used to model socio-ecological systems, as their graphical structure supports participatory modelling, they can integrate quantitative data and qualitative knowledge, and account for uncertainty. However, there is a lack of openly available and easy-to-use tools to run BNs with spatial data over time. Therefore, the online platform gBay (gbay.ethz.ch) was developed, where users can link their BNs to spatial data, run the network iteratively to incorporate dynamics and feedbacks, and add geo-processing calculations to account for spatial interactions.
