Ray Herrmann retiring as AE

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

Ray Herrmann

Under the deliberately vague title, Associate Editor for Watershed Processes and Management, Ray Herrmann has served for many years as my go-to person when I’d open a submitted manuscript and think, “Who the heck do I assign this one to?” He’s that renaissance man who can deal with a multitude of subjects. Though I don’t use him often, more than once I’ve been glad he’s been there. Now, Ray has decided it’s time to retire.

I don’t think I’m going to backfill this AE slot because (1) there’s nobody quite like Ray, and (2) he’s generously offered to help out if I get stuck. Please join me in wishing Ray the best as he rides off into the Rocky Mountain sunset.

Wanted: AE for Water Quality Monitoring

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

JAWRA Associate Editors (AE’s) serve as primary advisors to the JAWRA Editor. Responsibilities fall into two areas: reviews and subject development. The Water Quality Monitoring position handles between 15 and 20 papers per year. All manuscripts are handled through our ScholarOne Manuscripts™system, with the AE selecting reviewers and, when reviews return, making a recommendation to the Editor. AE’s are encouraged to seek out qualified authors in their subject areas and encourage them to submit papers to JAWRA. These could be individual submittals or as featured collections of related papers organized around an introduction.

The AE for Water Quality Monitoring sees a lot of interesting and sometimes controversial manuscripts. As mentioned in an earlier posting, Joe Delfino would like to help his replacement (such as Joe can be replaced!) ease into the position. So, the new AE will get a real running start on his or her responsibilities!

Associate editorship is a volunteer position earning our heartfelt thanks and an invitation to our annual AE luncheon. It also offers the opportunity to make a difference on the cutting edge of multidisciplinary water resources. The term of an AE is three years, but may be extended by mutual agreement.

Interested individuals should email the Editor at editor@awra.org. We are happy to answer any questions. We will hold this position open at a minimum until January 31, (update) February 29, 2012, but early application is encouraged.

AE Caruso safe in Christchurch

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Seeing the terrible earthquake damage on CNN, Susan and I emailed Associate Editor Brian Caruso. He replied, “I’m ok although I won’t be able to get into the university for a while (maybe a week or 2) so my editorial responsibilities may have to be on hold.  I’ll keep you posted.”

I thought I’d post his message here for others concerned about Brian’s safety.

Associate Editor Soon-Thiam Khu is leaving

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

Soon-Thiam Khu, JAWRA Associate Editor for Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Computing, has resigned his position due to unforeseen personal family circumstances which require his presence in Malaysia. Having just gone through my daughter’s health scare (in New York, not halfway around the world!) I fully understand how trying family circumstances can be. I’m sure we all wish the best for Soon-Thiam and his family.

An announcement for the position will be coming soon.

Associate Editor Reuben Goforth is leaving

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Reuben R. Goforth, JAWRA Associate Editor for Aquatic Ecology, is stepping down. Following the advice of his tenure committee, he needs more time to focus on publishing his own articles. I’m sure many of you can relate to that!

He writes, “I do appreciate the opportunity to serve as an associate editor for JAWRA, and perhaps there will be another opportunity for me to do so again in the future once the tenure hurdle is behind me. … I wish you and your staff, particularly Susan Scalia, the very best!”

Reuben has served since 2008, and we have appreciated the dedication and skill he brings to the job. Reuben, we wish you the best in your tenure quest, and hope your tenure committee regards you as highly as we do!

Reuben has generously offered to continue handling his current manuscript assignments. We will be announcing an opening soon.

Associate Editor Ragahavan Srinivasan

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Dr. Ragahavan Srinivasan, JAWRA Associate Editor for Geospatial Analysis, will be stepping down at the end of the year. One of the longest serving Associate Editors, Srini has done much to make JAWRA so prominent in this field. He also is one of the most cited authors in water resources. With an upcoming GIS specialty conference keeping interest high, Srini and I felt this was a good time to make the change. Thank you, Srini, for all your efforts over the years, and best wishes!
