Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management
Scope & Guideline
Advancing interdisciplinary insights for a sustainable future.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Ecological Risk Assessment:
The journal emphasizes methodologies for assessing ecological risks posed by chemicals, pollutants, and other anthropogenic activities on ecosystems, focusing on the development and application of frameworks that integrate ecological and exposure data. - Sustainability and Life Cycle Assessment:
A significant focus is placed on sustainability assessments using life cycle analysis (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impact of products and processes, particularly in relation to chemical management and resource recovery. - Pollution and Contamination Management:
The journal addresses various aspects of pollution, including the assessment, management, and remediation of contaminated sites, with a particular emphasis on emerging contaminants such as PFAS and microplastics. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
It promotes interdisciplinary research that incorporates ecological, social, and economic dimensions in environmental assessments, recognizing the complexity of environmental issues and the need for comprehensive solutions. - Climate Change and Environmental Resilience:
Research on the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and the development of adaptive management strategies to enhance resilience against climate-related stressors is a core area of focus.
Trending and Emerging
- Emerging Contaminants Research:
There is a significant increase in studies focusing on emerging contaminants, such as PFAS and microplastics, examining their environmental impact, exposure pathways, and management strategies. - Integration of Indigenous Knowledge:
Recent publications emphasize the importance of integrating Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into environmental assessments, acknowledging the value of traditional ecological knowledge in managing natural resources sustainably. - Machine Learning and Data-Driven Approaches:
The use of machine learning and advanced data analytics for environmental modeling and risk assessment is on the rise, reflecting a trend towards leveraging technology to improve the precision and efficiency of environmental assessments. - Climate Change Adaptation Strategies:
Research on adaptive management strategies to address climate change impacts is increasingly prominent, with a focus on resilience-building measures for ecosystems and communities. - Holistic and Multidisciplinary Frameworks:
There is a growing trend towards using holistic frameworks that combine ecological, economic, and social dimensions in environmental assessments, promoting integrated approaches to sustainability and management.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemical Risk Assessment:
There has been a noticeable decline in publications focusing solely on traditional chemical risk assessment methods without integrating newer, more holistic approaches like weight-of-evidence and probabilistic modeling. - Historical Case Studies:
Research centered on historical case studies of environmental incidents, while still relevant, has diminished as the journal shifts towards more proactive and predictive assessments rather than retrospective analyses. - Single-Species Assessments:
The focus on single-species assessments is waning as the journal increasingly emphasizes ecosystem-level assessments and the interactions between multiple species and environmental stressors. - Regulatory Compliance Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies that predominantly focus on compliance with existing regulations, as more researchers are looking to innovate and propose new frameworks rather than simply assess adherence to current standards. - Localized Environmental Impact Studies:
Research that addresses localized environmental impacts without broader implications or connections to global environmental challenges is becoming less frequent, reflecting a trend towards more integrative and comprehensive assessments.
