News from the Journal of Industrial Ecology
New Subject-Area Editors
The JIE is pleased to announce six new editors. Manfred Lenzen and Scott Matthews are co-editors for input-output analysis. Manfred is a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute for Sustainability Analysis in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney in Australia and Scott is Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Engineering and Public Policy and the Research Director of the Green Design Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the US. Both are leading researchers active in the use of input-output analysis in industrial ecology. Their editorship is supported by modest grants to the Leontieff Memorial Fund, established to recognize and further the work of Nobel laureate, Wassily Leontieff, the founder of input-output analysis.
The JIE’s editors for substance and materials flows analysis (SFA/MFA) are stepping down in order to take on new obligations at their home institutions. Ester van der Voet will replace her colleague René Kleijn. Ester is a senior researcher, project leader and associate professor at the Institute of Environmental Studies (CML) at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Claudia Binder will replace Susanne Kytzia. Claudia is professor and head of the Division of Social and Industrial Ecology in the Department of Geography at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. The JIE is very grateful for all the effort and good work of René and Susanne and we look forward to continued excellence in this core topic in industrial ecology with Ester and Claudia.
Philippa Notten is joining David Pennington as co-editor for LCA. She replaces Olivier Jolliet who resigned his editorship to focus on building his research team as part of his new position at the University of Michigan. A member of 2.-0 LCA Consultants and a chemical engineer by training, Pippa Notten obtained her Ph.D. in 2002 from University of Cape Town, South Africa, on a thesis on life cycle assessment uncertainty in resource-based industries. Pippa is an internationally recognized expert on the use of uncertainty assessment for improving decision-making power of life cycle assessments.
The JIE also welcomes Tom Theis who will serve as co-editor for book reviews with Arnold Tukker. Tom is a professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Institute for Environmental Science and Policy (IESP) at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the US.
New Website
Don’t forget that the JIE has a new and restructured website. Please use the new URL: www.mitpressjournals.org/jie The new website provides many new and improved services including:
**Easy downloading of citations to EndNote and other reference managers
**Extremely powerful searching tools
**Posting of completed articles prior to print publication
Some features are in the process of being implemented—posting of articles prior to publication—and some technical details of the transition from the old website are still being ironed out.
