Frontiers of Environmental Science and Engineering

Aims & Scope

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering (FESE) is an international journal for researchers interested in a wide range of environmental disciplines.

The journal's aim is to advance and disseminate knowledge in all main branches of environmental science & engineering.

The journal emphasizes papers in developing fields, as well as papers showing the interaction between environmental disciplines and other disciplines.

FESE is a bi-monthly journal.

Its peer-reviewed contents consist of a broad blend of reviews, research papers, policy analyses, short communications, and opinions.

Nonscheduled “special issue” and "hot topic", including a review article followed by a couple of related research articles, are organized to publish novel contributions and breaking results on all aspects of environmental field.
