  • Marine Geology

    • ISSN: 0025-3227
    Marine Geology is the journal on marine geological processes in the broadest sense. It seeks papers that are comprehensive, interdisciplinary and synthetic that will be lasting contributions to the field. Papers must demonstrate new findings and their context and significance discussed in terms of the international literature.Marine Geology accepts papers on subjects as diverse as seafloor hydrothermal systems, beach dynamics, early diagenesis, microbiological studies in sediments, palaeoclimate studies and geophysical studies of the seabed. Papers that address emerging new fields, for example the influence of anthropogenic processes on coastal and marine geology are particularly welcomed.The papers should be concerned with the coastal and marine realm in the broad sense and should deal with rocks, sediments, landforms (sedimentology, geomorphology, geoarchaeology, geochemistry), the physical and chemical and biological processes affecting them, and the characteristics and evolution of the processes/mechanisms as revealed by sedimentary archives.Papers should address scientific hypotheses: data compilations, including 'big data' and datasets of global significance, and papers that deal with marine management and risk assessment, sustainability issues, and hydrocarbon reservoir characterisation may be submitted to the journal on the condition that they demonstrate a close and clear relationship between these issues and coastal/marine geological processes and deposits. Papers on laboratory or modelling studies must demonstrate direct relevance to marine processes or deposits. Papers dealing with coastal deposits now on land may be accepted on condition that these deposits show continuity with, and their interpretation is relevant to, coastal and marine processes. Papers dealing with continental deposits that do not correspond to these criteria and must be submitted to other journals. The primary criteria for acceptance of papers include that the science is of high quality, novel, significant, and of broad international interest.

  • The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics

    • ISSN: 0021-9614
    The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics exists primarily for dissemination of significant new knowledge in experimental equilibrium thermodynamics and transport properties of chemical systems. The defining attributes of The Journal are the quality and relevance of the papers published.The Journal publishes work relating to gases, liquids, solids, polymers, mixtures, solutions and interfaces. Studies on systems with variability, such as biological or bio-based materials, gas hydrates, among others, will also be considered provided these are well characterized and reproducible where possible. Experimental methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow critical assessment of the accuracy claimed.Authors are encouraged to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.

  • Environmental Impact Assessment Review

    • ISSN: 0195-9255
    Environmental Impact Assessment Review (EIA Review) is a refereed, interdisciplinary journal serving a global audience of practitioners, policy-makers, regulators, academics and others with an interest in the field of impact assessment (IA) and management. Impact assessment is defined by the International Association for Impact Assessment (www.iaia.org) as the process of identifying the future consequences of a current or proposed action.For EIA Review, the field of IA can be related to as the assessment of impacts on or of the environment (including, for example, EIA and SEA), social (SIA), health (HIA), risk (RIA), human rights, equity, language, technology, products, etc. With current or proposed actions, the EIA Review audience assesses how best to evaluate the impacts of policies, projects, processes and products, and how best to make decisions and undertake management activities.The focus of EIA Review is on innovative theory and practice that encompasses any of the above mentioned impacts and activities. In other words, EIA Review covers the following topics (the list is not exhaustive):• Development of IA theory and concepts; • IA legislation, procedure and practice; • IA Governance; • IA Methods, for example, forecasting, indicators, systems-based approaches, ecosystem services assessment, cost benefit analysis, algorithms, network-based approaches, among others; • Life Cycle Assessment, Carbon Footprinting, Energy Analysis, Emergy Analysis, and Integrated Product Policy; • Environmental Management Systems.Despite its name EIA Review is not restricted to review articles. However, it aims to publish only contributions that are innovative, topical and coherent and submissions are judged on these criteria by one of the editors, in consultation with an international advisory board. All submissions go through a blind peer-review process using a minimum of two reviewers prior to acceptance.EIA Review does accept original research that might adopt a case study design or methodology, but it does not accept reports or descriptions solely of IA case studies that use existing methods (i.e. not innovative) in a single jurisdiction context with no wider learning points. Thus case studies are welcome where they explicitly demonstrate innovative theory or practice, and where there is a clear value to an international audience.Authors are encouraged to consider recent articles in the journal to get a sense of how the editorial team judges potential manuscripts in terms of their innovation, contribution and approach.We encourage those interested in organizing a special issue or a virtual special issue within the scope of the journal to contact the EiC or [email protected] for more information. Additionally, we encourage potential organizers to carefully review the relevant requirements in the Guide for Authors before proceeding. Please note that each special issue can only accept up to three guest editors (GEs).
  • Total Environment Engineering

    • ISSN: 2950-631X
    Total Environment Engineering is an international, multi-disciplinary companion journal to Science of the Total Environment, for publication of novel, hypothesis-driven and high-impact engineering science research that is directly relevant to the total environment, which interfaces the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and anthroposphere. Studies that focus on the interconnection of multiple spheres are given primary consideration.TEE is intended to appeal to a broad readership which will include those working in all branches of the engineering and environmental sciences. Articles published in the journal must therefore clearly demonstrate how engineering solutions are applicable to solving problems in real world environmental settings. Descriptive, repetitive, incremental or regional-scale studies with limited novelty will not be considered.Provided that the relevance to solving a real world environmental problem is clear, we welcome contributions on the following subject areas which may include, but are not limited to, the following: advanced treatments for water, air and soil, including electrochemical technologies air treatmentanaerobic digestion technologiesbiochar synthesis and use for decontamination control and sequestration of greenhouse gasesenvironmental risk assessment of technologiesgreen technologieslife cycle assessmentmaterials for catalytic destruction of contaminants membrane technologies for environmental solutionsmicroplasti... management and removalnanotechnolog... of contaminants of emerging concernrenewable energy technologiessensorst... and remediation of contaminated land and soilvalorization of wasteswater and wastewater treatmentwaste managementSharing many members of its editorial team with STOTEN, you can be sure that Total Environment Engineering will offer the same rapid peer review service, to the same high standards.
