The Journal of Integrated Coastal Management / Revista de Gestão Costeira Integrada (JICZM/RGCI) and the Association of Early Career Scientists for the Sea and the Poles (APECS-Brasil) are pleased to invite the Polar science community to publish their papers in a thematic special issue dedicated to “Coasts, Oceans and the Cryosphere: Polar Science and the 25-years of the Madrid Protocol”.
The Call for Papers regarding the Special issue we are coordinating in the Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management is now online!
It is available at http://www.aprh.pt/rgci/callforpapers_coc_eng.html
The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, the Madrid Protocol, was created with the objectives of preventing the contamination of the Antarctic environment and to guarantee its preservation. Each Antarctic Treaty Signatory Party which conducts activities in Antarctica must plan their actions with the aim of minimizing adverse impacts on the Antarctic environment, and its dependent and associated ecosystems. The Madrid Protocol will celebrate 25 years in 2016 which represents an excellent opportunity to the APECS members and all research groups with interests in the polar regions and the wider cryosphere to publish their results in this international and open access Journal.
One–page article proposals must be submitted until July 29th, 2016.
Our plan is to receive research articles, review articles and case studies following the Journal’s format until December 31st, 2016. Submission guidelines is available at http://www.aprh.pt/rgci/submartigos.html.
The Journal of Integrated Coastal Management and the Association of Early Career Scientists for the Sea and the Poles look forward to receiving your submission for this exciting thematic issue!
