NISC welcomes co Editor-in-Chief to African Journal of Aquatic Science

NISC is proud to introduce Dr Eliot Taylor who joins Dr Nick Rivers-Moore as co Editor-in-Chief of the African Journal of Aquatic Science.
Dr Eliot Taylor is a highly experienced freshwater environmental, ecological and technical specialist with over 30 years’ experience, including of numerous short and long-term assignments in over 15 western, eastern and southern African countries. He is author or co-author of nine published papers and reports.
The African Journal of Aquatic Science has seen an Impact Factor increase from 1.0 in 2020 to 1.755. In addition the 5-year Impact Factor has increased from 1.227 to 1.575.
"I'd like to continue to promote AJAS as THE Journal for the publication of freshwater research, especially on the ecology of freshwater ecosystems and how they respond to and are being impacted by climate change and the serious issue of catchment and landscape degradation and soil erosion across the continent."
Dr Taylor's passion, skills and interest lie in the freshwater environment and as a result of 15 years of living and working on the continent he has a particular love of African freshwater environments.
To name a few of Dr Taylor's extensive experiences he has worked in integrated water resources management, catchment management, climate change adaptation, ecological and environmental impact assessment and the use of freshwater macroinvertebrate communities to determine water quality and sedimentation issues.
Since September 2020, Dr Taylor has been APEM Ireland’s Divisional Director based in Cork. He has developed a team of 10, primarily freshwater, but also terrestrial and marine ecologists.
He hopes to add to the growth the African Journal of Aquatic Science which is devoted to the study of the aquatic sciences, covering all African inland and estuarine waters.
