This edited volume discusses the use of nontraditional data sources in environmental
political research and its implications for policymaking. 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.
