From his early years growing up in Argentina, through his university education in Colorado and becoming an esteemed scientist in Arizona, Professor Osvaldo Sala has maintained a life-long passion for biology and ecology. Working from local to global levels, his achievements have been truly transdisciplinary, collaborating with geologists, social scientists, mathematicians, and humanists – a perfect match for his recent appointment as joint Editor-in-Chief of Cambridge Prisms: Drylands, alongside Professor David Eldridge.
“There’s something amazing about deserts, about wide open spaces and the relative tranquillity you find there,” says Professor David Eldridge. “Whenever I go back to my study areas in western New South Wales, Australia, I feel really centred and calm; it’s these places, my special places, where I get to think about new ideas or contemplate where my life is heading. Deserts and drylands, to me, are very calming.”

Tropical forests harbour a very high proportion of the planet’s terrestrial biodiversity, supporting wildlife communities that are more diverse and more species-rich than any other habitat.
We are in the midst of a biodiversity, climate, and pollution crisis for which solutions are urgently needed. As the drivers of this crisis span all aspects of society, science and technology, a shift in the evidence base used to find solutions is required. We need to move beyond traditional mono-disciplinary paths if we are to achieve the scale and urgency of change needed. Yet how we define these new approaches is fraught with difficulty. As researchers, we are increasingly asked to work in transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, multi-disciplinary, cross-cutting, cross-disciplinary or cross-curricular ways. These terms are often used synonymously and without much reference to their origins, meaning or the methodological or philosophical differences they imply. Despite these challenges, the adoption of research approaches that examine global challenges more holistically is critical.
