Tasks:

CSERGE-UEA with CSERGE-UCL co-convenes the socio-economic assessment component of the project (WP 9). CSERGE-UEA is primarily responsible for analysis of the benefits and costs of differing options for the management of European mountain lakes and the air pollution emissions which affect such lakes. These options include both direct interventions within the mountain environment and a series of policy measures, derived in conjunction with the PIE theme, for regulation of air pollution emissions and their consequent impact upon such lakes. The benefits of such options are assessed though the application of a range of state-of-the-art valuation methods for the measurement of preferences and values of non-market environmental goods and services. The research is carried out across a range of socio-economic, cultural and spatial contexts to permit examination of the influence of such factors upon preferences and values. Close collaboration with natural science partners in EMERGE permits the implementation of an innovative interdisciplinary methodology. The costs associated with the various management options under consideration is assessed through an extensive review and appraisal of work concerning the cost of such options throughout Europe. The field survey component of this work package is co-ordinated by CSERGE-UEA, who is themselves responsible for the surveys undertaken in Scotland and East Anglia, UK.
