Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences

We are pleased to announce our new title for 2009: Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences. We hope that by emphasising 'integrative' we will strengthen our now well-established aims and scope, by further highlighting that the journal goes beyond looking at environmental issues from a pure science perspective. Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences is interdisciplinary, relevant and comprehensive.
