STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the October 2009 launch of a new journal, Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability. Professor Rik Leemans from Wageningen University and Professor Anand Patwardhan from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay will serve as Editors-in-Chief. More than forty internationally-recognised experts will serve on the Editorial Board.
Available on ScienceDirect from September 2009, Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability aims to address all the scientific, economic, social, technological and institutional aspects related to the challenge of environmental sustainability by focusing on integration across academic disciplines and insights with implications for societal practices and processes. The journal was developed by the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP) to ensure that specialists keep up to date with the expanding volume of information published in the interdisciplinary research area of environmental change and sustainability. It is divided into six major sections - Climate Systems, Human settlements and habitat, Energy systems, Terrestrials systems, Carbon and Nitrogen cycles, and Aquatic systems. Reviewed once a year, each section aims to cover the latest advances and trends on the environmental dimensions of sustainability and provides the views of invited experts on recent literature, with particular emphasis on articles published in the past two-three years. Access to the first two issues will be complimentary for first three months.
The ESSP is a science partnership of the four international global environmental change research programmes – an international programme of biodiversity science (DIVERSITAS), International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Change (IHDP), and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) - for the integrated study of the Earth system, the ways that it is changing, and the implications for global and regional sustainability.
