Research in Cold and Arid Regions is a peer-reviewed, international and interdisciplinary research journal, which focuses on the latest research on processes and patterns of the Earth's surface system in cold and arid regions.

Research in cold regions — topics covered

  1. There is a particular emphasis on cold-region-characterised physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions. In addition, we welcome submissions that consider the response of the cryosphere to global change and human activities, and the impact of these two elements on environmental and acclimatisable strategies.

  2. Glaciers, snow, rivers, lakes, sea ice, permafrost, seasonal frozen ground and periglacial geomorphology, etc.

  3. Cold region engineering and technology.

Research in arid regions — topics covered

The goal is to provide reliable technological support for water, ecology and food security in arid regions.

  1. There is a particular emphasis on arid-region-characterised physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions. In addition, we welcome submissions that consider the response of arid regions to global change and human activities, and the impact of these two elements on environmental and acclimatisable strategies.

  2. Deserts, oases, loess and aeolian landforms, etc.

  3. Comprehensive studies on mountain-desert-oasis systems in arid watersheds that are dominated by water resources.
