“Polar Region Geosystems,” a new Theme in Geochemistry, Geophysics,
Geosystems (G-cubed)
Submissions are now open to “Polar Region Geosystems,” a new Theme in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems (G-cubed): https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/journal/15252027/call-for-papers.html
A G-cubed Theme is like a special issue, except that every paper is published without delay, as soon as it is accepted and typeset, following G-cubed speedy review process. Past G-cubed Themes have been successful in bringing together and highlighting state-of-the-art research on an important topic. (The Themes are now also referred to as G-cubed Special Collections or Special Sections.) The “Polar Region Geosystems” runs for two years, with submissions currently open until 1 May, 2020.
The Theme will include papers on the Arctic, Antarctica and their surroundings from all disciplines of geochemistry, geophysics and geosystems, with topics ranging from the structure and dynamics of the lithosphere and underlying mantle to tectonics and crustal dynamics, nature and origins of intra- and inter-plate volcanism, and ice-sheet dynamics, among others. Submissions will undergo normal external peer review, and the accepted manuscripts will be up to G-cubed usual high standards: technically solid, of broad interest and with a focus on understanding the Earth as a system. This Theme/Special Collection aims to serve as a focal point for important new papers in Polar research.
