Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, a companion title to the highly-respected Journal of Hydrology, publishes original research papers enhancing the science of hydrology and aiming at region-specific problems, past and future conditions, analysis, review and solutions. The journal particularly welcomes research papers that deliver new insights into region-specific hydrological processes and responses to changing conditions, as well as contributions that incorporate interdisciplinarity and translational science. The journal topics covered include: surface and subsurface catchment hydrology; impacts of climatic and land use change on natural hydrologic processes and water resources; hydrologic process observations, modeling and prediction; innovative solution strategies for water management issues in transboundary basins and groundwater; economic hydrology; hydrology and livelihoods; cultural and social water allocation; social impacts of water infrastructure.

INTRODUCTION Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies is the new online only, author-pays, open access journal published by Elsevier. Types of paper Papers are published as a Full Paper or as Comments on these papers. (a) A FULL PAPER is a contribution describing original research, including theoretical exposition, extensive data and in-depth critical evaluation, and is peer reviewed. Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies (EJRH) focuses on the study of region specific hydrological problems, past and future conditions, analysis, review and solutions. For the full Aims & Scope click here. (b) REVIEW PAPERS are encouraged. Only critical review papers will be considered. The format and length of review papers are more flexible than for a full paper. Review papers are peer reviewed. (c) COMMENTS on papers already published are welcome, subject to the criteria of interest, originality and the approval of the appropriate Editor. Comments can include extensions to, or criticisms of, those papers. They must provide arguments that are reasoned, and not presented in a confrontational fashion. They will be sent to the author of the original paper for reply, the outcome of which may be publication in a future issue. Comments and Authors' Replies will be received until 4 months after publication. Landmark Hydrology paper A Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies 'Landmark Hydrology Paper' aims to be the most authoritative state-of-the-art overview of a component of the hydrological cycle for a whole country or for major large-scale basin. Examples could be classical themes as 'The groundwater resources of …', 'The characterization of the surface water of …', 'The precipitation regime of …' etc., but also 'The water management of …', 'The socio-hydrology of …', etc. The editors of Journal of Hydrology: Regional Hydrology welcome proposals from prospective authors for 'Landmark Hydrology Papers'. Proposals should list potential authors, affiliations, title of paper, aims, short outline and why this paper will be an authoritative state-of-the-art overview, i.e. which were previous overviews and what will be new in this paper? Papers will receive a thorough review by regional experts and by the editor-in-chief. 'Landmark Hydrology Papers' are expected to receive significant number of citations; they will be well promoted by Elsevier's web, email, social media channels. Over time they will also be combined in virtual journal issues. Submission checklist You can use this list to carry out a final check of your submission before you send it to the journal for review.

At the same time, register variation of peer-reviewed journals—that can contribute to whether a paper is accepted for publication—has received little attention. This paper redresses this gap, by investigating the register (especially discourse moves and lexical choices) in 60 published, original-research articles on wastewater treatment published in four Chemical Engineering journals, with impact factor (IF) above 2. Our survey shows that chemical engineering research publications tend to comply with a set of requirements: multidisciplinarity, brevity, co-authorship, focus on the description of practical results (rather than methods), and awareness of non-specialised audiences. Lexical choices were analysed through frequency tables, phrase nets and word trees produced by data visualisation software (ManyEyes). It was found that less discipline-specific vocabulary is used in higher IF journals and this is interpreted within the current context of manuscript publication and consumption.

  • Influences of Fluvial Geomorphology on Aquatic-To-Terrestrial Hg Transport: Evidence from Protected and Urban Streams of Central Ohio, USA
    Influences of fluvial geomorphology on aquatic-to-terrestrial Hg transport: evidence from protected and urban streams of central Ohio, USA THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsey E. Boaz, A.A.S., B.S. Graduate Program in Environmental Science The Ohio State University 2015 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Mažeika S.P. Sullivan, Advisor Dr. Kristin L. Jaeger Dr. Roman P. Lanno Copyrighted by Lindsey E. Boaz 2015 Abstract Fluvial geomorphology is a driver of sediment supply and storage and may therefore affect the accessibility of sediment-bound mercury (Hg) to aquatic organisms, in addition to influencing aquatic food-web structure via physical habitat controls. In particular, benthic insects that in their larval form are aquatic but emerge into the terrestrial environment as winged adults have been shown to be both highly influenced by stream hydrogeomorphology as well as a vector of contaminant transport from aquatic- to-terrestrial systems. Therefore, the potential for fluvial geomorphology to influence both the aquatic-to-terrestrial export of Hg and the potential use of Hg as an aquatic- terrestrial food-web tracer is significant. I first evaluated Hg as a tracer for trophic structure and dynamics for linked stream-riparian systems under differing fluvial geomorphic conditions within a relatively protected watershed. To that end, I investigated potential differences in Hg dynamics and trophic structure between equilibrium (i.e., stable) and adjusting (i.e., unstable) stream reaches as well as the potential for Hg to model linked aquatic-terrestrial food webs at 20 stream-riparian study reaches in Big Darby Creek watershed (OH, USA).
