Researchers involved in natural resource investigations and pollution control analysis must be entrepreneurial in finding and utilizing data sets to answer pressing policy questions. To remain relevant, successful researchers must increasingly seek data beyond routine federal program assessments, fragmented local surveys, and limited stakeholder interactions. This volume surveys current environmental research that draws on emerging data sources such as social media and political discourse. It poses critical questions about the potential of creative and innovative analytical approaches, particularly in contexts where policymakers have disregarded objective, evidence-based social science on environmental challenges. By encouraging scholars to adopt new methods, research designs, and data sources, this book offers valuable insights for researchers across the social and environmental sciences. 410 0$aNatural Resource Management and Policy,$x2511-8560 ;$vNA 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEnvironmental Policy 606 $aEnvironmental Economics 606 $aMethodology of Political Science 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aEnvironmental Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aMethodology of Political Science. 676 $a363.70561 702 $$aGuehlstorf$b Nicholas$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911015862803321 996 $aEnvironmental Policy Science's Exploration for Innovative Data$94409221 997 $aUNINA
