Meet the editors

Dr. Karmen Margeta (editor) is a Senior Scientist with a BSc, MSc, and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Zagreb, Croatia, where she works in the field of water treatment and zeolite materials. She is an expert in the fields of chemical (analytical) testing and environmental testing. She is involved in applied research related to material science for energy technologies and water treatment technologies. She has authored and

co-authored more than 70 journal and conference papers and several book chapters. In 2017 she published *Seawater Steam Engine as a "Prime Mover" for the Third Industrial Revolution*, a book that describes a radical new technology for stopping climate change. In 2015 Dr. Margeta was a member of the American Association of Science and Technology. She is also inventor of international patent WO/2013/072709. 2017 she published a book titled "Seawater Steam Engine as a 'prime mover' for the third industrial revolution", which technology is a scientific and technological breakthrough for stopping climate change.

Dr. Anamarija Farkaš (co-editor) is a Senior Research Associate who graduated in from the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology, University of Zagreb, Croatia, in 1990. Since 1994, she has been working as researcher at the IRMO in the Department for Resource Economics, Environmental Protection and Regional Development. In 2004 she obtained a PhD from the University of Zagreb. Dr. Farkaš' activities are focused on

chemistry and ecology, environmental policy, environmental engineering, environmental economy, and bioeconomy. She participated in a project investigating the availability and ecological advisability of applying natural resources in ecological agriculture, forestry protection, livestock, wastewater treatment, and air pollution.
