Moving beyond averages: uncertainty and variability analysis in industrial ecology

Uncertainty and variability are inevitable in studying the environmental impacts of society's use of resources. This was the subject of a Special Session "Moving beyond averages: uncertainty and variability analysis in industrial ecology", which I co-chaired together with [Dr Jonathan Cullen](https://www-diva.eng.cam.ac.uk/directory/joncullen), [Leo Paoli](http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/profiles/lp457) and [Dr David Laner](http://iwr.tuwien.ac.at/en/resources/staff/scientific-staff/profile/Laner/), at the [International Society for Industrial Ecology (ISIE) conference](http://isie-issst2017.uic.edu/) in Chicago in June 2017. This post summarises the session, and collects the results of the discussion with the session participants.
