Professor Colin Murray-Wallace from the University of Wollongong’s School of Earth and Environmental Sciences has been appointed the new Editor-in-Chief of one of the world’s leading science journals.
He has taken over the role for Quaternary Science Reviews - one of the flagship journals of publishing company Elsevier with a readership of over four million people.
He officially took over from the previous Editor, Professor James Rose from the University of London, at a meeting held at the offices of the Royal Geographical Society in London earlier this month. Professor Rose had held the position since 1994.
The journal is ranked as the world’s leading academic journal in physical geography and second in the fields of geochemistry and geophysics.
Quaternary Science Reviews caters for all aspects of Quaternary science - the multidisciplinary study of the dynamic changes that have occurred during the past two million years in the Earth’s climate and surface environments.
The journal publishes research and review papers. In 2007, it was published in 28 issues amounting to 3340 pages.
Professor Murray-Wallace is an expert in sea levels and has conducted detailed research into some of the critical lines of evidence for major changes in the sea levels over recent and geological timescales and the impact of these changes in long-term landscape development.
