CHIEF EDITOR: FABIO PULIZZI, PHD, SPRINGER NATURE, UK ORCID Fabio joined _Nature Water_ as a Chief Editor in January 2022, after 16 years working at Nature research journals. He joined
_Nature Materials_ as an associate editor in January 2006 and handled manuscripts in materials physics. In July 2012, he became the Chief Editor of _Nature Nanotechnology_. During the almost
10 years spent at the journal, he developed an interest for environmental issues and extended the scope of the journal to cover environmental nanotechnology, nanotechnology applications in
clean water and sustainable agriculture, as well as regulations of engineered nanomaterials. In 2020 he worked on the project for the launch of _Nature Water_ and he was then appointed to
lead the editorial team. Fabio has a degree in physics from the University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy, and a PhD in Physics from the University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Between 2002 and
2006 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham and at the University of Sheffield, in the United Kingdom. Fabio is based in London, United Kingdom.

Paul Scherrer Institute. Yanhua completed her PhD at the Paul Scherrer Institute and the University of Bern. She then moved to Japan for a postdoc at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Her
research over the past nine years focused on the geochemistry relevant to the geological disposal of radioactive waste. She received her master's degree in environmental engineering
from ETH Zürich, where she focused on water resource management and soil protection. Yanhua is based in Shanghai, China. [email protected] SENIOR EDITOR: SHUJUAN ZHANG, PHD, SPRINGER
NATURE, US Shujuan joined _Nature Water_ as an Associate Editor in March 2022, after working at Stevens Institute of Technology. She completed her PhD degree in Environmental Engineering
from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2020, and continued her work there as a postdoctoral researcher and a research scientist. She holds a master’s degree in Environmental Science from
the Chinese Academy of Sciences. She has research experience in several topics, covering pollutant transport behaviours, pollutant environmental analysis, and, most recently, water pollution
remediation. Shujuan is based in New York, USA. [email protected] SENIOR EDITOR: KARIN SJÖSTRAND, PHD, SPRINGER NATURE, US Karin joined _Nature Water_ as an Associate Editor in
April 2022, after 20 years of working with water challenges in both the public and private sectors. Her experience spans a wide spectrum of topics: water security; remediation; climate
change adaptation; decision analysis; and water resources management. Karin has a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. She has a
background as an environmental consultant working with contaminated soil and groundwater, and as a public official working with environmental law and The European Water Framework Directive.
Between 2013 and 2021 she worked as a project manager and researcher at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden where she focused on water supply and demand management. Karin is based in New
York City, United States. [email protected] ASSOCIATE EDITOR: HEEJUNG JUNG, PHD, SPRINGER NATURE, NEW YORK, USA Heejung gained her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the Ulsan
National Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, where her research focused on waste bioconversion into biogas. She later pursued postdoctoral research at Columbia University,
USA, working on engineering microbes for enhanced critical metal recovery. Heejung’s key expertise is in Environmental Science and Engineering. Heejung joined the Research Cross-Journal
Editorial team in January 2025 and she is currently working with the _Nature Water_ team. E-mail: heejung.jung#us.nature.com*
