The journal annually publishes more than 800 peer-reviewed scientific papers in a broadrange of Atmospheric fields and involves close to 2500 scientists in this process.

The journal also is home to the Haagen-Smit Prize, an annual award designed torecognize outstanding papers published in Atmospheric Environment. For moreinformation on the prize, go to the journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/aea

For over 50 years, the international journal

Atmospheric Environment has been at the

forefront of publishing high quality research in

the field of air pollution and its societal

impacts. The main aim of Atmospheric

Environment is to provide a scientific

understanding of the consequences of natural

and human-induced perturbations to the

earths atmosphere. The journal scope is broad

and includes processes involving chemistry and

physics of the atmosphere as well as subjects

related to human health, welfare, climate

change, and environmental policy.

CatenaCatena publishes papers describing original field andlaboratory investigations and reviews on geoecologyand landscape evolution with emphasis oninterdisplinary aspects of soil science, hydrology andgeomorphology. It aims to disseminate new knowledgeand foster better understanding of the physicalenvironment, of evolutionary sequences that haveresulted in past and current landscapes, and of thenatural processes that are likely to determine the fateof our terrestrial environment.
