Regional Scale Ecological Risk Assessment: Using the Relative Risk Model

Addressing large-scale and comparative risks at the landscape level in an environment containing multiple stressors and receptors, Regional-Scale Risk Assessment focuses on assessments using the Relative Risk Model (RRM) pioneered at Western Washington University over the last seven years. Developed to meet the need for regional assessments with multiple stressors from diverse sources and numerous desired endpoints, the RRM is amenable to additional iterations as new information becomes available. The book includes case studies from the Pacific Northwest, Port Valdez, Pennsylvania, Brazil, and Tasmania.
