<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">This Special Issue evolved from a poster session to showcase and celebrate the research catchment at the American Geophysical Union 2019 Fall Meeting. We welcome
participants of that session and others who wish to have their research catchment or catchment research represented in this special issue.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Please distribute this call widely to your colleagues who operate, administer, or study at research catchments, including long-term studies and monitoring at sentinel sites that have
been vital to expanding theory and discovery in hydrological, biogeochemical, and ecological process understanding.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">Our aim is to promote and draw broader attention to long-term research catchments, their fundamental role in understanding our environment, how they are changing,
and how they are responding. With this set of papers we aim to demonstrate that catchment research is vibrant, socially relevant, and irreplaceable. Papers for this mixed-format special issue can fall into one of two HP categories: (1) short 2-page
<i>Data Notes</i>, where authors describe their catchments and data series, and point to repositories of their data, or (2) full-length
<i>research papers</i> on results from catchment studies, including site descriptions and references to published data that clearly link to the catchment theme of this special issue.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<b><span style="color:#0070c0">Stephen Sebestyen, Theresa Blume, Jon Duncan, and Jamie Shanley.</span></b><span style="color:#0070c0">
</span>We ask that you (1) at your earliest convenience please let us know if you or one of your associates intend to contribute a paper, (2) if your answer is yes (which we hope), please send us a tentative title and a brief abstract, and (3) please suggest
scientists, particularly in developing countries or from less known sites, to be inclusive of catchment research that we may have missed. Contributors are welcome to direct any questions or solicit feedback about ideas for papers from the guest editors. All
contributions will go through peer review and only be published upon acceptance for the Special Issue.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
