Methods of Integration:Defining and Interpreting the Problem What is the Problem? Who are the Stakeholders? How did we get here? How can we move forward? Integrating Question: How do historical and legal issues result in water and habit quality issues for steelhead populations in Lapwai Creek, Idaho?
Methods of IntegrationThe process: Communication and logistics Integrating the problem and developing interdisciplinary adequacy An interdisciplinary understanding
The Upshot of IntegrationWhat does it tell us, where does it lead us? • The problem cannotbe solved unilaterally • Interdisciplinarityreveals the need for adaptive governance • The solution shouldinvolve all stakeholders
Talking about your Interdisciplinary Experience • In Academic Settings • Novel solutions to complex problems • Utilization of existing resources • In Employment Settings • Work and communicate with diverse teams • Convey information about your specialization in laymen’s terms • Understand and apply sophisticated information from unfamiliar disciplines
Applying Interdisciplinary Methods • How to use what we’ve learned in the classroom in future research: • An example: CEAP Synthesis Map from http://www.nrcs.usda.gov
