California State University Journal of Sustainability and Climate Change
The Chancellor’s Office of Sustainability and Department of Research has collaborated with the Press at Cal Poly Humboldt to launch the peer-reviewed CSU Journal of Sustainability and Climate Change.
The Journal offers a few paths to highlight scholarship in the higher education space. Submit Today! We are accepting submissions on an on-going basis.
- Journal Articles - Academic journal with peer review for scholarly communications centered on Sustainability and Climate Change topics. Volumes follow annual schedule.
- Student Research Briefs - Academic journal affiliated content area for published student works. Simplified publication model, without peer review.
- Conference Proceedings - Academic journal affiliated content area, archive of content links for sustainability/climate change conferences.
Dr. Natale “Nat” Zappia, a founding member of this Journal’s Editorial Board, was the Director of Institute for Sustainability at CSU Northridge. Dr. Zappia was a brilliant scholar, gifted teacher, caring mentor, beloved husband, devoted father, and a treasured member of the community. As a colleague, we were all saddened to hear of his passing recently. We were honored to have Nat as a contributing member of this Journal’s Board and deeply appreciative of the passion he brought to this project of inclusive scholarship in climate change and sustainability research.
