Special Issue for the 5th Baltic Earth Conference
Journal: Frontiers in Earth Science
Research Topic: New Challenges for Baltic Sea Earth System Research
Deadlines:
Manuscript Summary Submission: 10 December 2024 and,
Manuscript Submission: 30 March 2025
The Baltic Sea is an intracontinental marginal sea in Northern Europe, with particular properties which set it apart from most other marginal seas and coastal regions, such as its pronounced salinity dynamics and unique biogeochemical features. But at the same time, it has been one of the best observed and modeled marine and coastal regions in the world and it can serve as an example and provide case studies for other heavily populated coastal regions worldwide.
The Research Topic is rooted in the 5th Baltic Earth Conference in Jurmala, Latvia, 13-17 May 2024, inciting “New Challenges for Baltic Sea Earth System Research”. Contributions from the conference but also welcome manuscripts from other coastal sea regions worldwide related to:
- Biogeochemistry of the Baltic Sea
- Natural hazards and extreme events
- Sea level dynamics, sediment dynamics, coastal processes and impacts on coasts
- Human impacts, interactions and management options
- Modeling past and future climate changes and teleconnections
- Small scale processes not yet resolved and their impact on the large scale dynamics and patterns
- Comparing marginal seas worldwide
- Philosophical aspects of Baltic Sea Earth system research

Special Issue in SOIL on Advances in dynamic soil modelling across scales
Journal: Soil
Submission Opens: 01 October 2024
Submission Deadline: 01 October 2025
This special issue (SI) invites papers that study soil dynamics using numerical and statistical models. The focus will be on the development of model-based representations, or digital twins, of soil systems to study soil processes, dynamics, and functions from the pore to the landscape scale and from diurnal dynamics to millennial evolution. By bringing together modellers and models that work on different spatiotemporal scales, we aim at synergies between soil hydrology, soil physics, soil geography, and soil ecology to develop holistic models that consider soils and their functions as dynamic systems. This SI is an initiative of the International Soil Modeling Consortium (ISMC, https://soil-modeling.org/) and the 3-4D Soil models working group (https://dbges.de/en/commissions-and-working-groups/working-groups/wg-3-4d-soil-models), part of the German Soil Science Society.

Any paper topically relevant to the Global Energy and Water Exchanges is welcome regardless of the authors’ participation in the 9th GEWEX OSC.
- Submission opens in January 2025 for JMSJ
- Submission deadlines:
31 August 2025 (SOLA)

Special Issue on Hydrometeorological data from mountain and alpine research catchments
Submission Opens: January 2025
Submission Deadline: 31 December 2025
Editors: J. Pomeroy and D. Marks
The Journal on Earth System Scienc Data (ESSD) special issue responded to an international need to improve the understanding and modelling of mountain snow and ice hydrological processes. This initiative arises from a new GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel cross-cut project – INARCH, the International Network for Alpine Research Catchment Hydrology (www.usask.ca/inarch ). The guest editors invite contributions of openly available detailed meteorological and hydrological observational archives from long-term research catchments at high temporal resolution (at least 5 years of continuous data with hourly sampling intervals for meteorological data, daily precipitation and streamflow, and regular snow and/or glacier mass balance surveys) in well-instrumented mountain regions around the world. Contributors and researchers will use this mountain hydrology data publication special issue for the benefit of global alpine hydrological research.
