The Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (RCEES, CAS), was established in 1975. To mark this 50-year milestone, we have curated a collection of papers published from 2005 onward across the environmental portfolio of journals at the American Chemical Society (Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T), ES&T Letters, ACS ES&T Water, ACS ES&T Engineering, ACS ES&T

This letter is in response to the comments of Prof. Tianming Huang on “Tracking nitrate and sulfate sources in groundwater of an urbanized valley using a multi-tracer approach combined with a Bayesian isotope mixing model” (Torres-Martínez et al., 2020). We appreciate Prof. Huang’s insightful comments, his interest in our work, and his thorough analysis. We also acknowledge his constructive feedback

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) can provide critical early warnings to aid public health, which can be particularly beneficial in rural communities with limited access to health care. Spikes of SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentration in wastewater have been used to represent infections in a community, but wastewater holds a wealth of information that has not been explored yet. The objectives of this research

Leak detection is crucial for the healthy operation of water pipelines and efficient water resource conservation. However, traditional acoustic signal-based leak detection methods for water pipelines often capture only shallow or incomplete features, resulting in suboptimal accuracy in identifying leaks of varying severity. To address this limitation, we propose a water pipeline leak detection method

Ecologists investigate a vast range of questions, scales and organisms, which makes their methods correspondingly varied. Each approach has value, and we should celebrate the variety of this scientific field.

Understanding tipping points is essential for governing systemic risks in the Earth system and accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future. Kopp and colleagues1 raise important questions about the conceptual clarity and practical utility of tipping points research. While we welcome these questions and share their commitment to precise language and careful scientific communication, we worry that

Snippets from Nature’s past.

Students and institutions should treat PhD degrees as they would a job.

Curtailment of freedoms and disregard for the rule of law in the United States is destroying the ability of science to serve the nation’s, and the world’s, interests. Researchers can take action.

I should have paused and asked myself some tough questions. Instead, I started to type.
