  • Soil & Tillage Research

    • ISSN: 0167-1987
    Soil and Tillage Research is an ISTRO-affiliated journal that examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts on all aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability are considered. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research:The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils.Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality.Characteriza... or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.

  • Cold Regions Science and Technology

    • ISSN: 0165-232X
    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

  • Engineering Geology

    • ISSN: 0013-7952
    Engineering Geology is an international interdisciplinary journal bridging the fields of the earth sciences and engineering, particularly geological and geotechnical engineering. The focus of the journal is on geological or engineering studies that are of interest to engineering geologists, whether their initial training is in geology or civil/mining engineering. The studies published in this journal must show relevance to engineering, environmental concerns, and safety.Sample topics of interest include but are not limited to applied geomorphology and structural geology, applied geophysics and geochemistry, environmental geology and hydrogeology, land use planning, natural hazards, remote sensing techniques, soil and rock mechanics and applied geotechnical engineering.Paper types considered are original research articles, case histories, and comprehensive reviews. Case studies, in particular, should emphasize why the paper is of interest to the international readership of this journal, and/or what new or novel research or theoretical methods are being presented.The journal is intended for academic scientists, industry and applied researchers, and policy and decision makers.
