Limnology and Oceanography

L&O Limnology and Oceanography (ISSN 0024-3590) publishes original articles, including scholarly reviews, about all aspects of limnology and oceanography. (Click here for a description of the various kinds of papers that L&O publishes.) The journal's unifying theme is the understanding of aquatic systems. Submissions are judged on the originality of their data, interpretations, and ideas, and on the degree to which they can be generalized beyond the particular aquatic system examined. Laboratory and modeling studies must demonstrate relevance to field environments; typically this means that they are bolstered by substantial "real-world" data. Few purely theoretical or purely empirical papers are accepted for review; authors are strongly advised to combine such materials into more complete papers that test novel theory against data to elucidate important features of actual aquatic systems and to predict measurable features that have not yet been observed.

Papers that focus on new measurement equipment and techniques, or on evaluations and comparisons of existing methods should be directed to the companion journal Limnology and Oceanography: Methods.

Six regular issues of Limnology and Oceanography are published each year by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO). In addition, Special Issues that focus on topics that are timely and of interest to a significant number of ASLO members are published occasionally.

Call For Papers: Special Issue of Limnology and Oceanography

		Lakes and Reservoirs as Sentinels, Integrators, and Regulators of Climate Change This is an open call for papers for a special issue of Limnology and Oceanography. The special issue will follow an AGU Chapman Conference that will be held at Lake Tahoe September 8-10, 2008. All papers that are directly relevant to the conference topics will be considered through the abstract vetting and review process described in the detailed announcement.
