Statistical distributions of model parameters generated by expert elicitation to inform cetacean population recovery trajectory models

As part of the Consortium for Advanced Research on Marine Mammal Health Assessment (CARMMHA) project, expert elicitation (EE) workshops were conducted to generate probabilistic distributions which could be used to update population models used in Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) integrating the latest and best data sources (DWH MMIQT, 2015; Schwacke, et al 2017). Between 2020-01-13 to 2020-01-16, we undertook two expert elicitation workshops to better understand the effect of DWH oiling on a range of Gulf of Mexico cetacean species at an individual and population level. This dataset contains a document summarizing the process and results of the expert elicitation study and a spreadsheet detailing the results.
