Institute of Physics launches environmental science website
The Institute of Physics, http://www.iop.org, has launched a new website, http://environmentalresearchweb.org. The portal is projected to be a central source of information on issues covering the whole of environmental science.
Environmentalresearchweb.org will provide analysis and commentary on all areas of environmental research including policy and sustainable technology. It is targeted at all those who are interested in topics covered by environmental science, such as climate change and the development of biofuels.
In addition, the site also has links to new articles from the open access IOP Publishing journal Environmental Research Letters, launched earlier this year. Registration for membership of environmentalresearchweb.org is free. Members will gain free access to premium content, receive a weekly newsletter and be able to update the site with their comments, details of their events and their company.

Introduction and Purpose
Welcome to the Environmental Sciences Information Blog at Princeton University! This blog is for anyone and everyone, but especially those in academia and particularly at Princeton.
Interest in regards to the environment continues to grow, and reliable, scientific-based information and research is more germane than ever.
With so many resources and so much information becoming available on the Web, I have decided to try to collect the most useful websites and news services leading to and providing this knowledge. However, I’ll not restrict myself to web-based information. I will announce new databases, perhaps discuss and compare existing databases. I will announce new journals relevant for environmental studies, especially if they are new subscriptions. I will accumulate news resources. I will keep tabs on the plight of the EPA Libraries.
I will welcome comments, questions and suggestions.
