Beven, Keith J. (2004) Reply to ‘The emergence of a new kind of relativism in environmental modelling: a commentary’ by P. Baveye. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 460 (2047). pp. 2147-2151. ISSN 1364-5021
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This article is a response to a comment by Baveye in which he invites me to expand on the use of the word relativism in the context of environmental models. Limitations to a classical statistical approach to model (as realist hypothesis) falsification are discussed. It is concluded that environmental modelling must necessarily be operator dependent and relativist, even while being conducted in a context of pragmatic realism.
