BioOne and Dartmouth Collaborate with Other Leading Research Universities to Launch Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, a New Open-Access Scientific Journal.

BioOne and Dartmouth are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, a new open-access publishing program. Elementa was created through a collaboration among BioOne, Dartmouth, and several other leading research universities, and will publish original research that will report new knowledge of the Earth's physical, chemical, and biological systems during this era of human impacts. Elementa will publish contributions that explore feedbacks between human and natural systems, and steps that can be taken to ameliorate harmful changes. With the first articles scheduled to appear in July 2013, Elementa will attract reports of fundamental advancements in research organized initially into six domains, embracing the concept that basic knowledge can foster sustainable solutions for society. Each knowledge domain will be led by its own Editor-in-Chief, who will soon be joined by an international team of prominent Associate Editors. The initial Editorial team includes: [1] Atmospheric Science: Detlev Helmig, University of Colorado Boulder [2] Earth and Environmental Science: Joel D. Blum, University of Michigan [3] Ecology: Donald R. Zak, University of Michigan [4] Ocean Science: Jody W. Deming, University of Washington [5] Sustainable Engineering: Michael E. Chang, Georgia Institute of Technology [6] Sustainability Sciences: Anne Kapuscinski and David R. Peart, Dartmouth ..."
