Publisher: University of Massachusetts, Amherst

The objectives in launching this journal are to harness the advancements of
emerging information technologies, and provide the worldwide community of
environmental scientists, engineers, and educators with a powerful tool for
communication.

>From a technical perspective, we encourage submittals addressing the full
breadth of environmental science and engineering in the context of soil,
sediment, and water.

General areas of interest and importance include (but are by NO MEANS
limited to?the maximum effectiveness of this journal will depend to a great
extent on the breadth of topics addressed in its content) analytical methods
(chemical, statistical, biological, field, laboratory), biogeochemical
processes (chemical fate and effects, materials cycling, energy flow), risk
analysis (ecological and human health), remediation and restoration,
regulation, policy, and private sector perspectives.

Examples of specific topics of immediate interest include environmental
aspects of pharmaceuticals and nanotechnology products, biotechnology risks
and benefits, effects of climate change on environmental behavior of
chemicals, importance of environmental history in present and future
condition of soils, sediments and waters, pharmacokinetic and toxicologic
behavior of chemicals and chemical groups, microbial processes and
environmental chemicals, chemical and environmental forensics, risks and
benefits of emerging technologies and emerging chemicals, pollutant behavior
in urban ecosystems, ecosystems aspects of soil, sediment and water in the
context of human interactions with the biosphere.
