Finalist for the 2021 PROSE Award for Environmental Science!An integrated approach to understanding and mitigating the problem of excess nitrogenHuman activities generate large amounts of excess nitrogen, which has dramatically altered the nitrogen cycle. Reactive forms of nitrogen, especially nitrate and ammonia, are particularly detrimental. Given the magnitude of the problem, there is an urgent need for information on reactive nitrogen and its effective management.Nitrogen Overload: Environmental Degradation, Ramifications, and Economic Costs presents an integrated, multidisciplinary review of alterations to the nitrogen cycle over the past century and the wide-ranging consequences of nitrogen-based pollution, especially to aquatic ecosystems and human health.Volume highlights include: Comprehensive background information on the nitrogen cycleDetailed description of anthropogenic nitrogen sourcesReview of the environmental, economic, and health impacts of nitrogen pollutionRecommendations and strategies for reducing humanity's nitrogen footprintDiscussion of national nitrogen footprints and worldwide examples of mitigation policiesThe American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.Read the Editors' Vox: https://eos.org/editors-vox/exploring-the-widespread-impacts-of-ongoing-nitrogen-pollution

Brian G. Katz, Research Hydrologist, U.S. Geological Survey (retired), USA; and Environmental Consultant, Florida Department of Environmental Protection. For over 40 years, Dr. Brian Katz has been conducting numerous research projects on the transport and fate of nitrogen species in groundwater, springs, and surface waters in many areas of the United States. His research work has been published in over 100 journal articles, government documents and reports, book chapters, and conference proceedings. He has organized sessions at international meetings on sources and transport of nutrients in our environment, presented at these and other meetings, and given numerous lectures on these topics. He currently serves as the Geological Society of America Co-Editor of the journal, Environmental and Engineering Geoscience.
