Environmental simulation and risk assessment involve, in a multidisciplinary way, technicians, engineers and scientists from public and private institutions with professional activity in different branches, namely the following:

Environmental simulation and risk assessment are interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary professional fields, of which methodological procedures integrate the identification of environmental factors, its effects under controllable conditions and the assessment of its consequences. Environmental simulation requires different kinds of equipments and tools and might use advanced instrumentation and experimental or numerical methods. Risk assessment applies specific methodologies for uncertainty analysis and consequence scenario studies, integrating hazard identification, probability and vulnerability assessments.
