Elsevier and the International Association for Great Lakes Research (IAGLR), have formed a publishing partnership to assume publication of the Journal of Great Lakes Research, the official journal of the Association, starting in January 2009.
Journal of Great Lakes Research is the official Journal of the International Association for Great Lakes Research and devoted to the research on large lakes of the world and their watersheds. Published on a quarterly basis, Journal of Great Lakes Research is multidisciplinary in its coverage, publishing manuscripts on a wide range of theoretical and applied topics in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and geology of the large lakes of the world and their watersheds. Journal of Great Lakes Research also welcomes contributions on saline lakes. The full text of the “Aims and Scope” as well as information on the editorial board can be found on the journal homepage.

Water Research - Honorary Doctor of Engineering for Editor in Chief, Professor Mogens Henze
In conjunction with the 42nd Convocation Ceremony of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia held on 28th and 29th March 2009, the Technological University of Malaysia (UTM) has conferred the Honorary Docotor of Engineering, to Professor Mogens Henze from Technical University of Denmark. Henze is an outstanding international figure entrusted with important positions in various associations and organizations such as the International Water Association and the European Science Foundation.
Recently, Henze was appointed member of the Scientific Committee under the European Environmental Agency(EEA). The Scientific Committee, consisting of eighteen members, advises EEA on new policies and expresses its scientific opinion on environmental issues. While the Committee covers all aspects of the environment, Henze in charge of the freshwater, groundwater, water supply and wastewater side.

Marine Genomics - Call for Papers
Marine Genomics is currently calling for papers in all areas of research activity that are related tostructural, functional and evolutionary aspects of genes, chromatin, chromosomes and genomes of marine (and freshwater) organisms. Authors are invited to submit regular research papers, method papers, reviews as well as letters to the editor. All reports should explicitly state the biological relevance of the function that is the subject of the paper.
Method papers: will be considered only if they are of general importance with considerable original and useful information. Minor improvements to existing methods are not acceptable.
Letters to the Editor: are selected for publication that are pertinent to material published in Marine Genomics or that discuss problems of general interest. The author of a paper in question is usually given an opportunity to reply.
Reviews or mini-reviews: will be generally solicited by the Editors of the journal. However, prospective authors interested in contributing such a paper are invited to contact the Editor-in-Chief.
For more information, go to the homepage of Marine Genomics |

Journal of Hydrology - Call for Papers
Journal of Hydrology is calling for papers for a Special Issue on “Soil architecture and preferential flow across scales”. While considerable knowledge on soil structure has been amassed over decades, a comprehensive theory and an effective means of quantifying soil structure across scales is still lacking. To propel the field forward and out of the stagnation, thinking outside “the box’is needed to embrace the broadest sense of soil structure en ro encompass pedality, pore space and their interfaces and biological modifying factors. For more details, go to : www.elsevier.com/locate/jhydrol.
There is a good possibility that this Special Issue may be spun into a book. |

Marine Chemistry - Reduced Publication Times
In our ongoing effort to speed up the production process from the acceptance of papers till the actual printing of the issue, Elsevier’s Production and Publishing Team have reduced the publication time from paper submission to print publication by two months. This is continuous process, and we will keep you up to date on the progress!

Featured Special Issues
 Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans
The South China Sea and its impact on climate
Volume 47, Issues 1-3, pp. 1-176 (June 2009)
The South Sea is the largest marginal sea in the south Eatern Asian waters, covering a global surface area equivalent to more than one third of the continental United States. As the ocean provides the slow and more predictable component of the climate system, understanding and monitoring the South China Sea is essential. This special issue of Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans attempts to convey the progress that has been made in recent years in understanding the dynamics of South China Sea circulation and provide a forum for discussion on its possible impact on climate.
 Fisheries Research
Advances in the Analysis and Application of Harvest Policies in the Management of Fisheries
Volume 94, Issue 3, Pages 207-394 (December 2008)
The 16 papers that constitute this special issue make substantial contributions to the scholarship of harvest management, through review and synthesis of previous publications, simulation-based evaluation of management policies, including management procedures (MPs), or ways to estimate parameters used in control rules, and through presentation and discussion of important issues faced when harvest policies meet real fisheries.
 Harmful Algae
Understanding the causes and impacts of the Florida Red Tide and improving management and response
Volume 8, Issue 4, pp. 547-628 (March 2009)
In the US, blooms of the toxic dinoglagellate, Karenia brevis, and oth4er closely related species, commonly referred to as the Florida red tide, occur frequently on Florida’s west coast, sometimes on other areas of the Gulf of Mexico, and occasionally on the Atlantic coast of the US. Research on these natural phenomena began in the 1940’s upon identification of the causative organism and has continued to be present, but poisoned water that we now know to be due to the impacts of blooms, was documented as early as the 1880’s.
This special issue demonstrates how much progress has been made in understanding K. brevis blooms and their impacts and the improvements in management and response.
