Dr. B. Anjan Kumar Prusty (Chief Editor) is Senior Scientist and Head, Division of Environmental Impact Assessment, Gujarat Institute of Desert Ecology, India. He holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences for his works on environmental biogeochemistry with emphasis on heavy metal speciation in wetlands. His areas of research interests include River basins (Environmental flow and contaminant budgeting, inter-basin water transfer, aquatic ecosystem health), Wetlands, contaminant transfer models, Environmental impact assessment (monitoring and planning, and eco-sensitive areas), and Trace metal speciation in matrices such as water and soil, and environmental health implications. He is involved in designing and teaching modules in environmental sciences and sustainability studies in various universities including Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), India. He is a member of academic, scientific and professional bodies such as UNESCO - International Hydrological Programme (IHP), IUCN - Species Survival Commission, Wildlife Health Specialist Group (WHSP) and Goose Specialist Group (GSP).

Dr. Rachna Chandra (Co-Editor) holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences. She is specializing in heavy metal contamination, heavy metal dynamics and mobility through various trophic levels, and phyto-extraction and remediation techniques in different ecosystems has been in the field for more than a decade. She has been also working on nutrient dynamics, metal speciation / fractionation, sources and sinks of heavy metals, factors governing metal pollution, and developing management strategies to arrest contamination. Currently, she studies coastal areas and mangrove habitats in West Coast of India. She is a recipient of various academic awards including DST-INSPIRE Faculty Award by Government of India. She also teaches Environmental Sciences in KSKV Kachchh University, India and has been involved in developing teaching modules for universities such as Indira Gandhi
