The Environmental Scientist
The IES produces three to four editions of its journal Environmental Scientist each year. Articles are primarily written by our members, supplemented by contributions from experts and professionals working in the environmental field. Each issue examines a topic of pressing importance to environmental science from a variety of different angles; an expert in the relevant area acts as guest editor, introducing the articles and providing a critical overview of the subject at hand.
Latest Journal News
In recent times the Environmental Scientist has broken new ground and achieved a new standard. The first edition of 2009, entitled Changing Landscapes in Sustainability' focused on PP4SD 10th anniversary and the latest sustainability debate. Later in the year the IES teamed up with the Environment Agency to look at the uptake of science into strategic planning. The year ended with a look at sustainability aspects of the London 2012 Olympics.
In 2010 the Environmental Scientist tackled wider contemporary topics within the environmental field, with issues focusing on food security, a low-carbon Britain in 2050, and environmental justice, specifically inequality and gender.
In 2011 the journal is returning to its science roots with editions focusing on air quality and environmental education. A provisional schedule for the future of the Environmental Scientist is posted at the bottom of this page. Scientific articles will be submitted to gentle peer review in the future, ensuring a quality standard for submissions.
Above all, the Environmental Scientist seeks to raise the profile of the increasingly important field of environmental science, and showcase the valuable ideas and work of its members. The potential for the journal is vast, but we depend on your feedback and participation to realise that potential. We want to hear from you, whether you have opinions on anything you’ve read in the journal so far, or you would like to be involved in any of the editions outlined below.
