Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies and Sciences Series,
https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-29914-9_17
Chapter 17
Applying Science to Practice
Emre Eftelioglu, Fernando R. Miralles-Wilhelm, Rabi Mohtar,
Benjamin L. Ruddell, Peter Saundry, and Shashi Shekhar
17.1 Introduction
Throughout this book, we have noted the interdisciplinary nature of research at the
nexus research: engaging the full range of physical, life, social, and engineering
sciences, and integrating them through sophisticated models. FEW Nexus research,
therefore, requires scientists with diverse disciplinary training to work together.
