Abstract
Adaptive Environmental Assessment (AEA) employs computer simulation as a tool for understanding complex natural systems and exploring alternative management scenarios for those systems. The technique has been used in such areas as the Everglades, Columbia River, and Canadian forests, which, like the Upper Mississippi River, have competing scientific explanations for how they function and controversies regarding how they should be managed.
