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:
“Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary.... He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The universal social pressure upon women to be all alike, and do all the same things, and to be content with identical restrictions, has resulted not only in terrible suffering in the lives of exceptional women, but also in the loss of unmeasured feminine values in special gifts. The Drama of the Woman of Genius has too often been a tragedy of misshapen and perverted power.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
