Frontiers in Environmental Science

Aims & Scope

Our natural world is experiencing a state of rapid change unprecedented in the presence of humans.

The changes affect virtually all physical, chemical and biological systems on Earth.

The interaction of these systems leads to tipping points, feedbacks and amplification of effects.

In virtually all cases, the causes of environmental change can be traced to human activity through either direct interventions as a consequence of pollution, or through global warming from greenhouse case emissions.

Well-formulated and internationally-relevant policies to mitigate the change, or adapt to the consequences, that will ensure our ability to thrive in the coming decades are badly needed.

Without proper understanding of the processes involved, and deep understanding of the likely impacts of bad decisions or inaction, the security of food, water and energy is a risk.

Left unchecked shortages of these basic commodities will lead to migration, global geopolitical tension and conflict.

This represents the major challenge of our time.

We are the first generation to appreciate the problem and we will be judged in future by our ability to determine and take the action necessary.

Appropriate knowledge of the condition of our natural world, appreciation of the changes occurring, and predictions of how the future will develop are requisite to the definition and implementation of solutions.

Frontiers in Environmental Science publishes research at the cutting edge of knowledge of our natural world and its various intersections with society.

It bridges between the identification and measurement of change, comprehension of the processes responsible, and the measures needed to reduce their impact.

Its aim is to assist the formulation of policies, by offering sound scientific evidence on environmental science, that will lead to a more inhabitable and sustainable world for the generations to come.
