The three key steps in analysis, which we'll explore in this module,
are:
Although these steps are described one after the next here, they
do not have to be completed in chronological order. The analysis
phase is flexible. There is often substantial interaction between
the characterizations of effects and of exposure. At any time, assessors
can acquire additional information and reiterate the assessment
process.
In the following lessons, we'll take a closer look at each of these
key steps, starting with data selection. As suggested by the analysis
chart, You can't characterize exposure or ecological effects without
collecting the appropriate measures. This is even more complex when
cascading effects are of concern — click the In-Depth icon
below to begin considering the levels of complexity involved.
