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)
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
