Regional Environmental Change Journal
Natural and Social Sciences Perspectives
A new journal is being published with the aim of focusing on the
interactions of human and natural systems at the regional level within the
context of global change.
The Chief Editor of the journal is Prof Dr W Salomons (GKSS, Germany and
Free University Amsterdam, Holland), and other editors include K Turner
(CSERGE, UK), P Vellinga (IVM, Holland), H von Storch (GKSS, Germany), M
Beniston (University Fribourg, Switzerland), and W Cramer (PIK, Germany).
Regions that will be considered are river catchments, estuaries, deltas
adjacent seas, and wetlands as well as the interactions between cities and
their environment. Disciplinary but in particular multi-disciplinary
approaches to the study of these systems will be considered.
Examples of issues to be addressed in the journal include:
- changes in the environmental quality of regions and methods to analyse
such changes
- industrial ecology: the interaction between industrial activities and
natural systems
- decision making processes regarding space and natural resources
- transboundary issues and legislative framework
- regional impact of climate change and options for adaptation
- natural and social science aspects of extreme events
- tourism/leisure activities and nature conservation
- economic valuation of nature in its spatial context
- governance and environmental change
- the interrelation of ecology, economy and societal processes
The journal is aimed at a readership which will include the science
community (including hydrology, economics, soil sciences, political
sciences, geography, biology and and sociology), and the policy community
(including land use planners at all levels, decision makers in
international bodies and the subsidiary scientific and advisory bodies of
the UN Framework Conventions).
