P-boxes and probability bounds analysis have been used in many applications spanning many disciplines in engineering and environmental science, including:

  • Engineering design
  • Expert elicitation
  • Analysis of species sensitivity distributions
  • Sensitivity analysis in aerospace engineering of the buckling load of the frontskirt of the Ariane 5 launcher
  • ODE models of chemical reactor dynamics
  • Pharmacokinetic variability of inhaled VOCs
  • Groundwater modeling
  • Bounding failure probability for series systems
  • Heavy metal contamination in soil at an ironworks brownfield
  • Uncertainty propagation for salinity risk models
  • Power supply system safety assessment
  • Contaminated land risk assessment
  • Engineered systems for drinking water treatment
  • Computing soil screening levels
  • Human health and ecological risk analysis by the U.S. EPA of PCB contamination at the Housatonic River Superfund site
  • Environmental assessment for the Calcasieu Estuary Superfund site
  • Aerospace engineering for supersonic nozzle thrust
  • Verification and validation in scientific computation for engineering problems
  • Toxicity to small mammals of environmental mercury contamination
  • Modeling travel time of pollution in groundwater
  • Reliability analysis
  • Endangered species assessment for reintroduction of Leadbeater's possum
  • Exposure of insectivorous birds to an agricultural pesticide
  • Climate change projections
  • Waiting time in queuing systems
  • Extinction risk analysis for spotted owl on the Olympic Peninsula
  • Biosecurity against introduction of invasive species or agricultural pests
  • Finite-element structural analysis
