title = "On knowledge generation and use for sustainability",
abstract = "In order to address sustainability challenges, we posit that knowledge generation needs to move rapidly from a disciplinary linear {\textquoteleft}tree{\textquoteright} model to an interdisciplinary {\textquoteleft}web{\textquoteright} model. We show how such a shift is useful by looking at case studies in the context of water management.",
