Carbon Balance and Management, published by open access publisher BioMed Central, has announced the appointment of Prof. Burke Hales from Oregon State University College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, as co-Editor-in-Chief. Prof. Hales will be taking on the role alongside Georgii Alexandrov, and will now share responsibility for editorial decisions, as well as ongoing development projects.
As a chemical oceanographer, Professor Hales' research focuses on ocean carbon cycling, from the perspective of observational biogeochemistry, at the primary boundaries of the oceans: atmospheric, sea-floor, and continental. In joining the editorial board for Carbon Balance and Management, Prof. Hales will be encouraging manuscripts from aquatic carbon researchers to be submitted to the journal.
Carbon Balance and Management is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that encompasses all aspects of research aimed at developing a comprehensive policy relevant to the understanding of the global carbon cycle. Recent transformations of the carbon cycle and changes in climate and atmospheric composition have brought this important issue to the forefront of the minds of many researchers, scientists and general public.
