Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management

期刊简介：Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (IEAM) publishes the science underpinning environmental decision making and problem solving. Papers submitted to IEAM must link science and technical innovations to vexing regional or global environmental issues in one or more of the following core areas: Science-informed regulation, policy, and decision makingHealth and ecological risk and impact assessmentRestoration and management of damaged ecosystemsSustaining ecosystemsManaging large-scale environmental change Papers published in these broad fields of study are connected by an array of interdisciplinary engineering, management, and scientific themes, which collectively reflect the interconnectedness of the scientific, social, and environmental challenges facing our modern global society: Methods for environmental quality assessment; forecasting across a number of ecosystem uses and challenges (systems-based, cost-benefit, ecosystem services, etc.); measuring or predicting ecosystem change and adaptationApproaches that connect policy and management tools; harmonize national and international environmental regulation; merge human well-being with ecological management; develop and sustain the function of ecosystems; conceptualize, model and apply concepts of spatial and regional sustainabilityAssessment and management frameworks that incorporate conservation, life cycle, restoration, and sustainability; considerations for climate-induced adaptation, change and consequences, and vulnerabilityEnvironmental management applications using risk-based approaches; considerations for protecting and fostering biodiversity, as well as enhancement or protection of ecosystem services and resiliency.

【译文】综合环境评估与管理（IEAM）期刊发表支撑环境决策和问题解决的科学。提交给IEAM的论文必须将科学与技术创新与以下核心领域之一或多个中的棘手区域或全球环境问题联系起来：基于科学的监管、政策和决策制定、健康和生态风险与影响评估、受损生态系统的恢复与管理、生态系统维持、大规模环境变化管理。在这些广泛的研究领域中发表的文章由一系列跨学科工程、管理和科学主题连接，共同反映了我们现代全球社会面临的科学、社会和环境挑战的相互关联性：环境质量评估方法；预测多个生态系统用途和挑战（基于系统、成本效益、生态系统服务等）；测量或预测生态系统变化和适应；连接政策和管理工具的方法；协调国家与国际环境法规；将人类福祉与生态管理相结合；发展和维持生态系统功能；概念化、建模和应用空间和区域可持续性概念；纳入保护、生命周期、恢复和可持续性的评估与管理框架；考虑气候诱导的适应、变化和后果以及脆弱性；基于风险的环境管理应用；考虑保护和促进生物多样性，以及生态系统服务和弹性的增强或保护。
