Conference Supporting Journal

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Scienceis an international multidisciplinary journal devoted to the analysis of saline water phenomena ranging from the outer edge of the continental shelf to the upper limits of the tidal zone. The journal provides a unique forum, unifying the multidisciplinary approaches to the study of the oceanography of estuaries, coastal zones, and continental shelf seas. It features original research papers, review papers and short communications treating such disciplines as zoology, botany, geology, sedimentology, physical oceanography.

Research areas include:

• Numerical modelling of estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems
• Species distribution in relation to varying environments
• Effects of waste disposal
• Groundwater runoff and Chemical processes
• Estuarine and fjord circulation patterns
• Meteorological and oceanic forcing of semi-enclosed and continental shelf water masses
• Sea-surface and sea-bed processes
• Estuarine and coastal sedimentary processes and geochemistry
• Brackish water and lagoon phenomena
• Transitional waters

Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science proposes to publish up to 3 special issues to celebrate ECSA50 and thank ECSA for decades of support. The Editors of the journal invite proposals for up to 3 special issues of ECSA50.

We request that
- the Special Issues must be aimed at focused scientific questions and not a geographic area
- must be multi-disciplinary
- must list the guest editors with complementary skills and experience in editin
- must list the proposed articles and authors
-the papers are not necessarily restricted to those presented at ECSA50.
-if possible, the proposals should include a review/synthesis paper
-the proposal must state the expected deadline for 1st submission of the papers.

Proposals should be emailed to Eric Wolanski (e.wolanski@aims.gov.au) before August 10, 2012.
