Bulletin of Glaciological Research is a journal to publish scientific papers in English published by the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice. It is intended to highlight the recent progress in the fields of snow and ice studies.
CONTENTS OF BACK NUMBERS
BGR Editorial Board (April 2005- )
Nobuhiko Azuma (Chief), Koji Fujita, Yoshinori Furukawa,
Seiji Kamimura, Kokichi Kamiyama, Katsuhisa Kawashima,
Nozomu Naito, Koichi Nishimura, Takanobu Sawagaki,
Takayuki Shiraiwa, Toshitaka Suzuki and Takeshi Yamazaki
We intend to publish two types of paper:
1) Articles, containing original scientific materials and results, not submitted for publication elsewhere, and
2) Reports, containing preliminary results, and reports on activities of general interest.
Articles will be reviewed by external referees.
Reports will be processed by the editorial board, but with suggestions of referees.
The text should be typewritten in English and double spaced on one side only. All illustrations (drawing and photographs) must not exceed 160 mm in width, and 203 mm in height. The printing format will consist of two columns, 76×203 mm each. Authors are requested to size their figures so that their width covers either one or both columns.
Submitted manuscripts should employ the details of style shown in the papers of current issue.
HISTORY
Initiation
Twenty seven years ago, in 1973, Data Center for Glacier Research, Japanese Society of Snow and Ice published a so called Blue Book, which discussed the research needs for glacier studies and the problems to be solved in particular in Nepal Himalayas. The publication provided a basis of the Japanese activities in glacier research not only in the Himalayas but also in the other area of the world, although it did not attracted an attention worldwide because it was written in Japanese. Following the Blue Book, the Data Center published two volumes of collected papers written in English: "Glacial Studies in Langtang Valley: Report of the Glacier Boring Project 1981-82 in the Nepal Himalayas" and "Glaciological Studies in Patagonia Northern Icefield 1983-1984" published in 1984 and 1985 respectively.
With increasing demands for publishing Japanese activities and results on glacier studies, we decided to publish a periodical in English once or twice a year, and the first issue of "Bulletin of Glacier Research" was published in 1987. It was the forth publication by the Data Center, and the most recent BGR achieved the publication No. 16 published in 1998. During the 12 years, BGR attracted an attention from other countries as well, and several papers were published submitted from outside, in particular Asian countries.
New Bulletin
Recent environmental problems became a global issue, in which glaciers play important roles. At the same time, however, studies of glacier alone would not be sufficient, and it was suggested to widen the scope of the bulletin. The council of Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, with which Data Center for Glacier Research is associated, agreed to publish a new bulletin which covers the entire research field of the Society, partly because the society has not published a journal written in English.
Taking into account the success of BGR, it was also suggested that the editors for previous BGRs succeed to edit the new bulletin at least for the time being, although the members of the editorial board would be modified depending upon the evolution of the categories of submitted papers for the forthcoming issues.
Bulletin of Glaciological Research
The new bulletin called "Bulletin of Glaciological Research", to be abbreviated BGR as for the previous bulletin, was started in 2000. Following No. 16 of the latest issue of Bulletin of Glacier Research, the first issue was to be Volume 17 of Bulletin of Glaciological Research. We invite new articles and reports to highlight the recent progress in the fields of snow and ice studies. As stated above, we wish to broaden the scope of the bulletin, and any study of polar and alpine science may be included. It is hoped that the bulletin can play a role in introducing Asian scientific activities worldwide, and can be of further interest and of use for the readers.
