Spatial Analysis Decision Assistance (SADA) Training

A total of 28 Attendees from U.S. DOE – PPPO, U.S. DOE – PGDP, U.S. EPA – Atlanta, Paducah Remediation Services, Inc. -PGDP, KY Environmental Protection Cabinet-Federal Facilities Unit, KY Cabinet for Health Services – Environmental Monitoring Lab, UK-Kentucky Transportation Center, UK-Kentucky Geological Survey attended two-day Statistical Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA) training at the UK Center for Applied Energy Research.

The training was conducted in collaboration with the The Institute for Environmental Modeling at the University of Tennessee, which developed and provides technical support for the Statistical Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA) software.

Spatial Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA) is free software that incorporates tools from environmental assessment fields into an effective problem solving environment. These tools include integrated modules for visualization, geospatial analysis, statistical analysis, human health risk assessment, ecological risk assessment, cost/benefit analysis, sampling design, and decision analysis. The capabilities of SADA can be used independently or collectively to address site specific concerns when characterizing a contaminated site, assessing risk, determining the location of future samples, and when designing remedial action.
