Prof. Hsieh joins the Editorial Board of Communications Earth & Environment.

Prof. I-Yun Lisa Hsieh has joined the Editorial Board of Communications Earth & Environment, an open-access journal from Nature Portfolio publishing high-quality research, reviews, and commentary across the Earth, environmental, and planetary sciences.

The Role

The Communications journals pair an in-house editorial team with a board of active researchers. As an Editorial Board Member, Prof. Hsieh handles submitted manuscripts in her areas of expertise — guiding them through peer review, weighing reviewer reports, and making publication recommendations — bringing a practitioner's judgment to the journal's editorial decisions. Her board profile reflects the E3 group's core territory: energy policy, renewable generation, low-carbon transportation, and sustainable development, with the aim of accelerating the transition to a net-zero emissions future.

Why It Matters

Editorial service at a Nature Portfolio journal is a recognition that flows in both directions. It signals the international community's trust in Prof. Hsieh's scientific judgment at the interface of energy systems and environmental impacts — the same integrated perspective that runs through the lab's research programs, from carbon pricing and air-quality co-benefits to vehicle electrification. And it keeps the E3 group connected to the leading edge of the field: few vantage points reveal where environmental research is heading better than the editor's desk.
