Uncertainty in your work

Think about your own field data, or spatial data from other sources such as satellite imagery.

• What types of uncertainty exist in them?
• Are these inevitable, i.e. caused by the inability to measure precisely?
• Are they deliberate generalisations or simplifications?
• How might they affect what you can do with these data, for example in your analysis, map-making, or making management recommendations?
• Is there anything you can do to reduce the sources of uncertainty?
