Cold Regions Science and Technology
Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere.Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost.Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.Please see below the areas of research that the Editor in Chief and Associate Editors lead on, with support from members of the Editorial Board.Sea ice and arctic marine technology - Prof. Jukka TuhkuriSnow and snow avalanche - Dr. Nicolas Eckert & Dr. Betty SovillaFrozen soil, frozen rocks and permafrost - Prof. Jilin Qi & Prof. Mingyi ZhangRiver ice - Prof. Mark LoewenAtmospheric icing - Dr. Krzysztof Szilder- ISSN: 0165-232X
Global and Planetary Change
Global and Planetary Change publishes high-quality studies addressing all aspects of Earth System Science. The objective of the journal is to develop a multi-disciplinary understanding of planetary change and to improve knowledge of processes relevant at a global-scale. As such, the journal focuses equally on the geological and historical past as well as present-day and future scenarios based on observational records, experimental studies, and/or modelling. Regional or process-oriented studies are welcome provided that they are useful for understanding aspects of the Earth System.Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, studies of the dynamic Deep Earth and lithosphere to (near-)surface processes; changes in the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere; climate change, the carbon cycle, and sea level fluctuations; global ecology, biogeography, and extinction; planetary boundaries and ecosystem resilience/threshold... and global change impacts on food security, water resources, and urban sustainability.Key criteria for the consideration of manuscripts include (a) their relevance for the global scientific community and/or (b) their wider implications for global-scale problems, preferably combined with (c) having a significance beyond a single discipline. Manuscripts may be submitted as either original research papers or as authoritative review articles. Every effort should be made to present research outcomes in a way that is understandable for a broad international readership.Please ensure your submission fulfils the following checklist of requirements to maximise the likelihood of consideration:A title and abstract that emphases its relevance to global-scale process and/or eventsA list of at least 5 potential reviewers that includes scientists from outside your network selected from across the global communityA short cover letter that concisely explains the wider global implications of your work- ISSN: 0921-8181

Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography
Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography publishes topical issues from the many international and interdisciplinary projects which are undertaken in oceanography. Besides these special issues from projects, the journal publishes collections of papers presented at conferences. The special issues regularly have electronic annexes of non-text material (numerical data, images, images, video, etc.) which are published with the special issues in ScienceDirect. Deep-Sea Research Part II was split off as a separate journal devoted to topical issues in 1993. Its companion journal Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, publishes the regular research papers in this area.AUTHORS PLEASE NOTE: the Editors cannot accept submissions that are not linked to a thematic issue.

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology is an international journal dedicated to advancing the science of land-atmosphere interactions across agriculture, forests and other terrestrial systems (e.g. wetlands, tundra, urban environments). Manuscripts considered by Agricultural and Forest Meteorology for publication must include both of the following:Strong atmospheric components such as meteorological, micrometeorological, or climate-related processesDemonstrate how these atmospheric processes interact with the terrestrial surfaceThe journal’s scope includes research that applies micrometeorological theory, develops and evaluates novel instrumentation (e.g., sensors for trace gas measurements, flux measurement systems, radiation instrumentation), advances remote- and proximal-sensing approaches (e.g. satellite observations, UAV-based sensors), or employs models that represent land-atmosphere interactions (e.g. soil-vegetation-atmo... transfer models, data-fusion frameworks and physically guided machine learning models). These tools and approaches are applied to address research questions in the following areas:Energy, momentum, mass and trace gas exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere, including their role in biogeochemical cycles (e.g. carbon, nitrogen) and water cycles (e.g. evapotranspiration)E... phenology and physiology Radiative transfer, water interception, turbulence and microclimate in vegetation canopiesAerobiology (e.g. the dispersion of pollen, spores, microorganisms, insects and pesticides)Impacts of climate variability and climate change on land-atmosphere interactions Impact of land use, land use change, and disturbances such as fire on land-atmosphere interactions Regional and global land-atmosphere feedbacksThe following submissions are discouraged:Studies that do not focus on the inter-relationship of concepts in meteorology and ecosystemsStudies reporting on climate trends without consideration of the impacts of such trends on ecosystemsDendrochro... and climate reconstruction studies that do not relate to land-atmosphere interactionsRemote sensing studies that report solely on methodology or on vegetation trends such as greeningSoil or plant focused studies that merely report weather or climate variables without investigating land-atmosphere interactionsSoil microbial ecology studiesStudies of the effects of management practices (e.g. mulching), soil processes or soil properties on respiration or greenhouse gas fluxes, without a strong atmospheric componentStudies of plant physiology, chemistry or genetics, without a strong atmospheric componentHydrologica... studies that are not primarily concerned with water vapour transfer to or from the atmosphereStudies of potential evaporation that do not also consider actual evaporationStudies conducted exclusively in controlled environments (e.g. growth chambers, incubators, wind tunnels, greenhouses)Design, technology and operation of greenhouses or other plant-growing facilitiesStudies based on data products or theoretical modelling studies that do not test model predictions against experimental data except for very novel models that target processes for which measurements are not yet possibleMachine-lear... studies that are limited in their results to a specific geographic region, without novel methodology or novel physical understandingNote that solely considering climate variables such as air temperature, precipitation etc., does not constitute the study of land-atmosphere interactions and as such are discouraged.All submissions will only be considered for publication if they clearly advance knowledge on land-atmosphere interactions or propose novel methods to study these interactions.- ISSN: 0168-1923
