Call for Papers: Dr. Navneet Kumar, Editor of Special Issue on Urban Wetlands in Scientific Reports

Dr. Navneet Kumar, Senior Research Associate at GLOMOS (Global Mountain Safeguard Research), is serving as a guest editor for an exciting new collection in Scientific Reports, part of the prestigious Nature Portfolio. The collection, titled “Engineering and Management of Urban Wetlands,” is now open for submissions, and researchers across disciplines are encouraged to contribute.

This collection addresses the urgent need for sustainable solutions in the face of increasing degradation of urban wetlands due to rapid urbanization, pollution, and poor land-use practices. Wetlands provide essential ecosystem services—from flood mitigation and water purification to supporting urban biodiversity—yet they remain under threat worldwide.

Call for Papers: Now Open

Researchers, practitioners, and policy experts are invited to submit original research articles that explore innovative approaches to the engineering, restoration, and integrated management of urban wetlands. Submissions may span a range of topics, including:

• Urban water management and infrastructure
• Ecological engineering and restoration techniques
• Policy frameworks and governance models
• Socio-economic and cultural dimensions of wetland conservation
• Climate resilience and nature-based solutions

Dr. Kumar’s leadership as guest editor reflects his deep commitment to advancing interdisciplinary research that informs both science and policy. His expertise ensures that the collection will feature impactful, solution-oriented studies that can guide real-world applications.
