Personal profile

Research interests

Arnald Puy focuses on understanding and appraising uncertainties in contentious phenomena, especially those related with agriculture, climate and water resources. His research aims at providing insights for sustainability and makes use of mathematical models, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, post-normal science and ethics of quantification.

He is the PI of the 5-year project "DAWN: Illuminating Deep Uncertainties in the Estimation of Irrigation Withdrawals", a £1.7 M Frontier Research Grant funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the UK government's Horizon Europe funding guarantee (EP/Y02463X/1). DAWN combines philosophy, modelling, hydrology and anthropology to study the uncertainties ingrained in the calculation of global irrigation water needs. See DAWN's webpage for further details here.
