Shah Co-authors Paper on Data Integration for Interdisciplinary Environmental and Social Science Research
Posted: 9/28/2023 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Sameer Shah (Environmental and Forest Sciences) has just published a co-authored paper in Environmental Research Communications that details the challenges and opportunities in linking environmental and social sciences data to address climate change. They argue that the integration of physical and social science data can enable novel frameworks, methodologies, and innovative solutions important for addressing complex socio-environmental problems. Unfortunately, many technical, procedural, and institutional challenges hamper effective data integration – detracting from interdisciplinary socio-environmental research and broader public impact. The evidence for their claims is based on the experiences of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and their Early Career Researchers.
