My master project (Projecting the future ecological niche of trees species in Quebec in 2100) has to deal with these issues as well. The problem of uncertainty will most likely have bad social and ecological consequences such as “no decision making” and therefore “Business as usual” (No social and ecological change). However, modeling the current and future with tools that we have so far are good starts (much better than doing nothing)! Things are getting better and better and by the help of technology, uncertainty should decreases.
Other problems or Challenges should I say is the fact that data should be available to everyone and their quality should increase as we in time. These issues have to be shared to everybody and international agreement must be done accordingly. However, issues will remain existent as long as GIS software is not getting cheaper.
