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
Research in Cold and Arid Regions is a peer-reviewed, international and interdisciplinary research journal, which focuses on the latest research on processes and patterns of the Earth's surface system in cold and arid regions.Research in cold regions — topics coveredThere is a particular emphasis on cold-region-characterised physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions. In addition, we welcome submissions that consider the response of the cryosphere to global change and human activities, and the impact of these two elements on environmental and acclimatisable strategies.Glaciers, snow, rivers, lakes, sea ice, permafrost, seasonal frozen ground and periglacial geomorphology, etc.Cold region engineering and technology.Research in arid regions — topics coveredThe goal is to provide reliable technological support for water, ecology and food security in arid regions.There is a particular emphasis on arid-region-characterised physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions. In addition, we welcome submissions that consider the response of arid regions to global change and human activities, and the impact of these two elements on environmental and acclimatisable strategies.Deserts, oases, loess and aeolian landforms, etc.Comprehensive studies on mountain-desert-oasis systems in arid watersheds that are dominated by water resources.Editorial Board
