The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced that Dr. Bryan W. Brooks of Baylor University has joined Environmental Science & Technology Letters as editor-in-chief.
Brooks’ transdisciplinary research interests broadly include understanding and managing anthropogenic activities and stressors across levels of biological organisation. He routinely works internationally on water quality, environmental contaminants and sustainability issues, particularly related to rapidly urbanising regions on six continents. Brooks also serves as the visiting Pearl River scholar chair professor at Jinan University. He coordinates the Global Horizon Scanning Project, which identifies priority research questions necessary to achieve sustainable environmental quality around the world and is principal investigator on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s UNCOVER-EH initiative, which identifies challenges and research needs for environmental health in the US.
Since the journal’s founding in 2014, Environmental Science & Technology Letters has been under the leadership of Editor Dr. Bruce Logan, and Editor-in-Chief of Environmental Science & Technology, Dr. David Sedlak. With the appointment of Brooks, ACS is establishing Environmental Science & Technology Letters as a stand-alone journal, where it can build upon the strong foundations it gained under the arm of Environmental Science & Technology and further delineate its scope and mission. Environmental Science & Technology Letters will continue to work closely with the environmental science family of ACS journals, including the new journals ACS ES&T Water and ACS ES&T Engineering, which will launch later this year.
Published as soon as accepted and summarised in monthly issues, Environmental Science & Technology Letters is an international forum for brief communications on experimental or theoretical results of exceptional timeliness in all aspects of environmental science (pure and applied), including human health, and short reviews on emerging environmental science and technology topics. With an impact factor of 6.934, over 3,500 citations and approximately a quarter-million downloads in 2019, the journal has quickly established itself as a leader in the environmental science community.
