Special Issue: Call for Submissions

11/4/2018

0 Comments

 
It has been 25 years since the Conference on Periglacial Processes in Granada (1993), where the IPA-Spain group was created. The group joined the International Permafrost Association (IPA) one year later. Since then, successive IPA-Spain meetings took place until, and in 2007, the Spanish and Portuguese groups of the IPA began their collaboration, which was reflected in six Iberian conferences, the latest one held in 2017. In parallel, researchers from IPA-Spain and IPA-Portugal have advanced in the scientific knowledge about permafrost and periglacial geomorphology in Iberian and other mountain ranges, as well as in Polar Regions.


On the occasion of this event, it has been proposed that a Special Issue be published in the prestigious journal Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, sponsored by the IPA (impact factor 2.815 in the 2016 Journal Citation Reports®).


The aim is to update knowledge on cold geomorphological processes, including permafrost, in mountain environments where these are restricted to the highest altitudes. To this end, scientific research papers focusing on the study of periglacial geomorphology and permafrost in the Iberian massifs and in other mountains of the Mediterranean region, as well as in other mountain areas of low- and mid-latitudes where these processes are marginal (e.g. high inter-tropical mountains) will be considered for publication.


Researchers interested in participating in this Special Issue should send an e-mail with a brief abstract (max. 200 words) to ruizjesus@uniovi.es by 20 April, also indicating the title of the contribution and its authors.


The papers sent for the Special Issue must follow the format of the journal (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/10991530/homepage/forauthors.html). The originals can be sent only through the journal’s platform, between 1 September and 31 December 2018.
​


For more information please contact Jesús Ruiz-Fernández (University of Oviedo, Spain) or Marc Oliva (University of Barcelona, Spain).

New ANTPAS Co-Chair Elected

24/1/2018

0 Comments

 
It is with great pleasure that ANTPAS announces our new Co-Chair and we would like to warmly welcome Marc Oliva from the University of Barcelona into the ANTPAS family. Marc will take over as Co-Chair from Gonçalo Vieira during the SCAR Biennial Conference in Davos (POLAR2018) in June of this year. Mauro Guglielmin, our second Co-Chair, will remain in his position. ANTPAS extends its gratitude and appreciation to Gonçalo for co-chairing ANTPAS for the previous years. He will remain a member of our Steering Committee.

We also warmly thank the four other candidates - Dan Morgan, Filip Hrbacek, William Berry Lyons and Zicheng Yu - for their participation and commitment to supporting ANTPAS by standing as candidates for the Co-Chair position. Their participation greatly increased the profile of our group and the interest in the voting process. 

We wish the Steering Committee (existing and new members) all the very best for their term!

ANTPAS wishes everyone a happy Antarctica Day! Every year on 1 December we celebrate that amazing, beautiful and absolutely inspiring continent that belongs to none of us and all of us at the same time. On 1 December 1959 the Antarctic Treaty System was signed, bringing together the global community in preserving Antarctica for peace and science. We wish all our colleagues already in Antarctica, or departing for Antarctica, a successful field season!
