Boundary Science: Re-imagining Water-Energy-Food Interactions in the Context of a Data Light Approach to Monitoring the Environment- Development Nexus

Boundary Science and the Pursuit of Sustainable Development: Lessons from Global Public Goods Research on the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus addresses the problem of how global research can reorient itself to better address sustainable goals and objectives through the use of place-based observatories that support multi-dimensional modelling. The book will provide an overview of the impact of case studies and field trials in addressing critical questions of poverty reduction and sustainable development. This discussion will be followed by an examination of a theoretical framework for boundary science that elaborates upon the Nexus approach to environmental management.

• Provides an examination of Water-Food-Energy Nexus synergies and their role in informing a framework for multi-dimensional modeling
• Discusses applications of multi-dimensional modeling and framework for evaluating boundary science
• Delivers rationales for improving design of field trials and case studies of global public goods research
