[LTER-investigators] Fwd: Hydrological Processes special issue on Research and Observatory Catchments

[Marty Downs]

Dear LTER Investigators,
I wanted to call your attention to this special issue special issue of the
journal Hydrological Processes, titled: *Research and Observatory
Catchments: the Legacy and the Future - an obvious fit for many terrestrial
sites*. Please pardon the extraneous email. We would typically include this
in the monthly newsletter, but the due date for expressions of interest is
coming up soon.

Thanks, Marty

*Subject: Hydrological Processes special issue*



Dear Catchment colleagues,



We are writing to inform you about a special issue of the journal
Hydrological Processes. The special issue is titled: *Research and
Observatory Catchments: the Legacy and the Future*.



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.



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.



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 *Data Notes*, where authors
describe their catchments and data series, and point to repositories of
their data, or (2) full-length *research papers* on results from catchment
studies, including site descriptions and references to published data that
clearly link to the catchment theme of this special issue.



The guest-editors will be *Stephen Sebestyen, Theresa Blume, Jon Duncan,
and Jamie Shanley.* 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.



Our tentative time line is to receive an indication of interest by *15 May
2020*, the title/abstract by *1 June 2020*, the manuscript by *1 October
2020*, and complete review/revision by *15 January, 2021*. Accepted
manuscripts will be published online individually as soon as they are ready
for publication, and the special issue will be assembled by *1 April, 2021*.
Authors who do not adhere to the schedule may be dropped from the special
issue to avoid delay, although the option will be open to publish in a
later issue of the journal, following normal review.



Please send us an email (stephen.sebestyen at usda.gov) to express interest by *15
May 2020*. We look forward to hearing back from you with regards to your
intended submission to this Special Issue of Hydrological Processes.



Kind Regards,

*Stephen Sebestyen, USDA Forest Service *

*Theresa Blume, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences*

*Jon Duncan, Pennsylvania State University*

*Jamie Shanley, US Geological Survey*
