Environmetrics, the official journal of The International Environmetrics Society (TIES), is devoted to the dissemination of high-quality quantitative research in the environmental sciences, broadly construed. The journal welcomes pertinent and innovative submissions from applied mathematics, engineering and signal processing, statistics, risk analysis, and other quantitative disciplines. Articles must answer important scientific questions in the environmental sciences or develop novel methodology with clear applications to environmental science. New methodology should be illustrated with recent environmental data.
