The Journal of Regional Environmental Change wishes to broaden its base of authors by inviting new research communities to use its pages for high-quality publications. The journal is a young ISI-listed Springer journal and offers fast, high quality reviewing, online-first publication, and broad access to readers through numerous library subscriptions worldwide.

The mission of the journal is to publish scientific research and opinion papers that improve the understanding and the extent of environmental changes, their causes, their impacts on people, and the options for society to respond. Solutions are needed most at the regional level, where physical features of the landscape, biological systems, and human institutions interact.

The editors encourage submissions on interdisciplinary research across the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, and on more focused studies that contribute toward solutions to complex environmental problems. Journal topics include:

- The regional manifestations of global change, especially the vulnerability of regions and sectors

- The adaptation of social-ecological systems to environmental change in the context of sustainable development

- Trans-boundary and cross-jurisdictional issues, legislative and governance frameworks, and the broad range of policy and management issues associated with building, maintaining and restoring robust social-ecological systems at regional scales.

Primarily, the journal accepts research articles, presenting new evidence from analyses of empirical data or theoretical investigations of regional environmental change. In addition to research articles, the journal also publishes editorials, short communications, invited mini-reviews on topics of strong current interest, as well as special features that provide multifaceted discussion of complex topics or particular regions.
