ES&T Letters is a rapid publication forum for international brief communications (Letters, Brief Reviews, Highlights, Global Perspectives) on rigorous experimental or theoretical results of exceptional timeliness on all aspects of environmental science and technology (pure and applied). The journal’s aim is to quickly publish short, timely research of an urgent or emerging nature on complex environmental phenomena while simultaneously facilitating the solution of critical environmental problems.

ES&T Letters’ scope is broad and includes characterization of natural and affected environments, environmental processes, fate, transport and transformation of compounds in natural and engineered systems, environmental measurement methods, environmental aspects of nanotechnology, novel remediation and control technology, biogeochemical cycling, ecotoxicology and human environmental health, sustainability and energy, and remediation, control and pollution prevention. Manuscripts describing cross-disciplinary research or addressing emerging issues are of particular interest. The journal appeals to a multidisciplinary and diverse audience of scientists, policy makers and the broad environmental community. The broad environmental science and technology topic areas published by the journal are shown by (but not limited to) the main journal section headings:

Biogeochemical Cycling
Bioremediation and Biotechnology
Data Science
Ecotoxicology and Public Health
Energy and Climate
Occurrence, Fate, and Transport of Aquatic and Terrestrial Contaminants
