ACS Environmental Au Recognizes 2022 Rising Stars in Environmental Research

T future of our planet relies on collaborative efforts and innovative solutions to the many pressing environmental challenges we face. Early career researchers are at the forefront of developing new and impactful science and technology in global environmental research arena. To recognize their significant contributions and foster future collaboration, ACS Environmental Au plans to organize virtual special issues highlighting some of the Rising Stars in Environmental Research and to promote their outstanding research to our readers. As the Editors of ACS Environmental Au, we are pleased to share our inaugural virtual special issue of Rising Stars in Environmental Research! Six early career investigators have been selected from around the world who are working on addressing important environmental research issues (e.g., air quality, biogeochemistry, climate change, life-cycle assessment, water pollution and treatment technology). Each “Rising Star” has contributed an outstanding peer-reviewed Article, Perspective or Review on topics addressing global environmental issues, and we are delighted to gather these contributions into a single collection to showcase their work and shine a spotlight on them. We encourage you to learn about these researchers and their work through the biographies below, their research group webpages, and their ACS Environmental Au publications that are part of this virtual special issue.
