Virtual Special Issues
Virtual Special Issues are collections of papers that have been solicited and managed by Guest Editors of the journal. These were previously published in print form but, since 2009, the Special Issues are on-line only. This allows Earth Surface Processes and Landforms to publish Special Issue manuscripts in a timely fashion, not held back by the slowest paper in review, and then to bring the Special Issue together on-line once all papers are published. Some recent examples include:
- Quantifying rates and processes of landscape evolutions (Nov 2011). Guest Editors: Arjun M. Heimsath and Oliver Korup.
- The megadeltas of Asia: Interlinkage of land and sea and human development (Jul 2011). Guest Editors: Zhongyuan Chen and Yoshiki Saito.
- River meander dynamics (Jul 2011). Guest Editors: J. M. Hooke, E. Gautier and G. Zolezzi.
- Remote sensing of rivers (May 2011). Guest Editors: W. Andrew Marcus and Mark A. Fonstad.
- New developments in process understanding and modelling in geomorphology (Dec 2010). Guest Editors: Damian Lawler and Michael Fairchild.

Famous quotes containing the words virtual, special and/or issues:
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
“The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. That unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. Whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
