Excerpt

The natural sciences and science in general, are challenged by the shifting social paradigm towards synthesis and systems approaches to improving understanding. In hydrogeology, this is leading to more interdisciplinary research and applications, and to more complexity at the coupling interfaces of related disciplines. A principal challenge is finding an optimal balance between reductionist and interdisciplinary science. Reductionist science is threatened by the shift in emphasis and resources toward interdisciplinary science. This shift, driven largely by a focus on ecosystems approaches, may overlook many gaps in synthesis within disciplines. Many complex science questions within hydrogeology and at the interfaces with related disciplines are best addressed through a combination of interdisciplinary and reductionist research. …
