Despite this severe shortage of landed scientists, research in environmental psychology has somehow managed to flourish. Two comprehensive handbooks have appeared (Bechtel & Churchman 2002, Clayton 2012), and a third is in preparation. The number of submissions to the Journal of Environmental Psychology (JEP) quadrupled from 2002 to 2012. This explosion of interest is partially rooted in the global development in the field; JEP received submissions from over 40 countries in 2012. The 2008 American Psychological Association Presidential Address was devoted to psychology's contribution to a sustainable environment (Kazdin 2009).
