Annals of Glaciology

Aims & Scope

Annals of Glaciology publishes original scientific articles and letters in selected aspects of glaciology-the study of ice.

Each issue of the Annals is thematic, focussing on a specific subject.

The Council of the International Glaciological Society welcomes proposals for thematic issues from the glaciological community.

Once a theme is approved, the Council appoints an Associate Chief Editor and a team of Scientific Editors to handle the submission, peer review and publication of papers.
