Calls for papers

All Collections are carefully curated by the editors to capture trends in fast-moving fields of science. Our curated Collections may be associated with an open call for papers, although often they are not. All manuscripts in curated Collections are selected and managed by the journal's editors according to our standard procedures.

  • Holocene hydroclimate

    This collection explores past hydroclimate variability and dynamics throughout the Holocene.
