Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Snow is a globally important topic. Snowpack can cover a large portion of the Earth’s surface, affecting the climate, water resources, recreation, ecology, mobility and travel, safety, and other aspects of life on the planet. The characteristics of snow vary across both time and space. Snow is mostly seasonal, but it can be ephemeral or permanent. The dynamic nature of snow makes it a difficult medium to monitor and model.
We seek papers on any snow-related topics, including the characteristics and variability of snowpack properties, manual and remote sensing measurements of snowpack properties, snowpack modeling, snow as a hazard, snow hydrology, snow ecosystems, snow recreation.
We especially welcome papers on new research that advances our understanding of snow and related phenomena. Papers presented at recent conferences, such as the Eastern Snow Conference <https://www.easternsnow.org/>, Western Snow Conference <https://www.westernsnowconference.org/>, and the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences <https://baco-25.org/>, will also be considered.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
