Circum Arctic Paleo-River Discharge and Its Geological Record
Special Issue "Geologische Rundschau"
First Circular (December 1998)
Dear colleague,
We plan to publish a special issue of "Geologische Rundschau", International
Journal of Earth Sciences, titled "Circum Arctic Paleo-River Discharge and
Its Geological Record". The title already shows that this issue will
concentrate on the reconstruction of ancient river discharge and its change
through geological times. Original and review papers based on studies of
marine sediment cores as well as land sections from the western (Canadian)
Arctic and the eastern (Eurasian) Arctic are welcome. Papers dealing with
circum-Arctic studies are of special interest. Although we will focus on
paleo-river discharge, a few selected synthesis papers about modern Arctic
river discharge and its geological signature in surface sediments may be
included.
If you or your coworkers are interested in submitting a manuscript to be
included into this special issue of "Geologische Rundschau", please send a
tentative title and list of authors to
Ruediger Stein
Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research

Based on the response to this first circular, a tentative table of content
will be produced and all potential authors will be informed and asked for
submitting a manuscript (for deadlines see below). Before being accepted for
publication, all manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.

Dullo, GEOMAR Kiel, Germany, the deadlines of this special issue are the
following:
