Research interests:
Henri Moll has co-ordinated several (interdisciplinary) research projects in the National (Dutch) Research Programme on Global Air Pollution and Climate Change. He was responsible for the Dutch contribution to the EU sponsored project ToolSust (the involvement of stakeholders to develop and implement tools for sustainable households in the cities of tomorrow).

Under his guidance, energy scenario studies have been developed addressing the implementation of renewable energy sources in the northern regions of the Netherlands for the period 2010 – 2035. Presently, the major subject of his research attention are the future role of natural gas and its substitutes (biogas, SNG) in the Netherlands and the European energy system as well as their consequences for the environment and land use change.

He has participated in several international networks concerning lifecycle analysis, material flow accounting, system-modelling and sustainable development. At the methodological level, his personal research priorities are system dynamics approaches related to sustainable development issues as well as the further development and application of chain and lifecycle like methodologies (addressing energy, material and environmental issues).

Message to the authors:
“In my scientific career, I have supervised the writing of about 100 scientific articles, reports and conference contributions. I have also reviewed approximately 100 scientific articles. Scientific writing and publishing of significant articles are of utmost importance for the advancement of science in general, and environmental sciences especially. As a reviewer, my responsibility is to (de)select original and new papers. But more importantly, my role is to advise the authors on how to improve their contribution to science. As editor, my priorities remain the same: looking for the advancement of environmental sciences by publishing relevant and original scientific work and challenging scientists from all over the world to deliver outstanding articles. Sustainable development, climate change, circular economy and energy transitions are important global challenges to be addressed in our journal. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to study and advance these topics. Keeping in mind the slogans: ‘think globally act locally’ and ‘the devil is in the detail’, next to top-down perspectives, bottom-up perspectives are relevant for our journal. Nonetheless, science also implies the ability to generalize from a local case and to critically analyse the general implications of specific results.”

Prof. Dale S. Rothman
Editor in Chief for the Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences
Associate Professor Department of Computational & Data Sciences, George Mason University

Research interests:
Dale S. Rothman has more than 25 years of experience teaching and advising students and professionals in systems thinking, scenario development, simulation, complexity science, and ecological economics. He has a background in both the natural and social sciences and has held research and teaching positions in the US, Netherlands, Canada, and the UK. Most notably, he contributed to the scenario analysis for the 3rd UNEP Global Environmental Outlook (GEO) and was the coordinator of the scenario analysis for the 4th GEO, and has been a contributor to both the IPCC and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, and helped to develop the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). He is a former Vice President of The Integrated Assessment Society and editor for the journal Ecological Economics.

Presently, he teaches introductory and advance courses related to Computational Social Science. His research focuses on the application of computational tools in combination with other quantitative and qualitative methods to address complex social-environmental challenges, such as climate change.

Message to the authors:
“JIES prefers articles that demonstrate integrative research” (see here). This implies, among other things, that we seek to publish work that not only is integrative in nature, but also is able to speak to multiple audiences, each of which may have its own terminology and style of writing. Research is fundamental to advancing our understanding of, and addressing, the social-environmental challenges we face, but so is our ability to communicate the insights gained. As co-Editor-in-Chief, therefore, I see key parts of my role as seeking out the former and assisting with the latter. I encourage you to consider JIES as as a venue for your work and look forward to helping you reach your desired audience and beyond.
