Dear colleagues,
We are soliciting contributions for a Special Issue focused on "Limnological processes in permafrost environments" to be published in the journal Sedimentary Geology (IF: 2.134).
Given that permafrost lakes and ponds have effects that extend far beyond the cryosphere, such as the implications of their greenhouse gas emissions on the global carbon cycle, and that these lakes and ponds, in turn, affect landscape evolution in permafrost regions, we seek to include papers touching on diverse topics in permafrost environments to underline the importance of these regions in global change studies. We welcome manuscripts that encompass temporal scales ranging from hours to millennia, focus on highly variable physical, biological and geochemical conditions, and consider the importance of the sedimentary records of permafrost lakes as archives of past climate and environmental conditions.
The aim of the special issue is to highlight the state of the art in understanding limnological and paleolimnological processes in permafrost areas.
Papers can be submitted from now until 31st March 2015.
The Elsevier Editorial System is currently open for article submission. Instructions for submission:
- The submission website for this journal is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/sedgeo/default.asp
- When submitting your paper you have to select as an Article Type of the SI: Limnology&permafrost.
We would appreciate it if those with interest in submitting a manuscript for the special issue could send us a brief email. If you have any doubts or questions please don't hesitate to contact either one of us.
Best regards,
Marc Oliva
