ABSTRACT	We present a novel approach to determine the evolution of level sets under uncertainties in the velocity fields. This leads to a stochastic description of the level sets. To compute the quantiles of random level sets, we use the stochastic Galerkin method for a hyperbolic reformulation of the level-set equations. A novel intrusive Galerkin formulation is presented and proven hyperbolic. It induces a corresponding finite-volume scheme that is specifically taylored for uncertain velocities.
