BMC Environmental Science is calling for submissions to our Collection on chemical treatment technologies that are fundamental to managing and mitigating pollution in water, soil, and air environments.
The climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges facing our societies. While mitigating further climate change remains crucial the adaptation to new climate conditions with increased risks of flooding, heat waves, and wildfires is becoming inevitable. Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises advanced analytical tools to better understand climate processes and to monitor biodiversity and vegetation health.
This Collection provides a platform for interdisciplinary research at the interface of environmental science, climate science, AI, and computational modelling. We welcome contributions that not only demonstrate methodological innovation but also document real world impact, interpretability, scalability, and reproducibility. Studies that critically evaluate the limitations, biases, and uncertainties of applied methods, and that discuss their implications for policy and practice, are particularly encouraged.
Topics suitable for this Collection include, but are not limited to:
- Enhancement of the spatiotemporal resolution of climate forecasts and environmental change detections
- Integration of earth observation with in-situ measurements
- Development of open-source tools for climate action and environmental conservation
- Benchmarking of climate models
- Modelling and forecasting of extreme weather events
- Assessing the impact of extreme events on the environment
- Uncertainty quantification in climate and weather forecasting
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 13: Climate action.
All manuscripts submitted to this journal, including those submitted to collections and special issues, are assessed in line with our editorial policies and the journal’s peer review process. Reviewers and editors are required to declare competing interests and can be excluded from the peer review process if a competing interest exists.
