Journals issue calls for papers

May 29, 2012

Two journals have issued calls for papers for upcoming special issues focusing on wetlands, sustainability and risk analysis.

The new journal Ecological Processes has issued a call for papers for a special issue on wetlands in a complex world; CHANS-Net member Matteo Convertino is serving as guest editor of the special issue. The topic is the main theme of the Society of Wetland Scientists and the Greater Everglades Ecosystem Restoration Conference: 9th INTECOL (International Association for Ecology) conference in Orlando, June 3-8.

The new journal Environment, Systems, and Decisions, (formerly The Environmentalist) has issued two calls for papers.

The first asks for papers on the challenges of energy, water and infrastructure sustainability for cities, industrial and military installations, and small communities for a special issue on energy, environment and sustainability.

We are tasked with keeping the United States at the leading edge of discovery in areas from astronomy to geology to zoology. So, in addition to funding research in the traditional academic areas, the agency also supports "high-risk, high pay-off" ideas, novel collaborations and numerous projects that may seem like science fiction today, but which the public will take for granted tomorrow.

Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability, Michigan State University - A center of excellence that integrates ecology with socioeconomics, demography, and other disciplines for ecological sustainability from local, national, to global scales.

About CHANS-Net

Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are integrated systems in which humans and natural components interact. CHANS research has recently emerged as an exciting and integrative field of cross-disciplinary scientific inquiry, with research projects covering a variety of coupled systems in locations spanning the globe. Although individual projects have generated many important insights, it is essential to systematically transform the field to be more than the sum of its parts and provide broader insights of greater scientific and societal significance than those resulting from individual projects alone. The goal of CHANS-Net is to foster this transformation by facilitating communication and collaboration among members of the CHANS research community.
