We are delighted to announce Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology, a new peer-reviewed journal bringing together high quality research focused on all aspects of water science and technology, particularly water resource, security and sustainability. David Cwiertny, Associate Professor at the University of Iowa, USA, has been appointed Editor-in-Chief.
Announcing the launch, Stephen Hawthorne, Executive Director of RSC Publishing said:“Water is one of the most significant concerns of the 21st century as it is essential for the basic survival of all species on earth. Many areas of the world are already water stressed and more will become so as the century progresses. This new journal aims to address some of the scientific, technological and engineering challenges that we face with respect to water in the coming century. With the launch of Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology, the Royal Society of Chemistry continues to lead the scientific debate, providing insight into these challenges and focusing the efforts of a variety of disciplines to resolve these issues.”
Research published in Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology will provide a comprehensive and relevant forum for the diverse communities working in areas associated with water research, engineering and technology. More information about the journal’s scope can be found on the website.
“I’m delighted to serve as the Editor-in-Chief of Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology. It’s a tremendous opportunity, particularly because water resources are at such a critical juncture in today’s society. Climate change, the energy-water nexus, and water reuse and sustainability are all emerging themes that will impact current and future generations. I believe Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology will be a tremendous platform for the presentation and discussion of the latest, cutting-edge research in these areas, while also representing an exciting new alternative for research in more traditional areas of water”
David Cwiertny, Editor-in-Chief, Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology
