Instructions for Authors

This year authors have two options for publishing research presented at the ESC Meeting. Authors may publish their work in the annual Eastern Snow Conference Proceedings AND You may also submit your manuscript for possible publication in the special December issue of Hydrological Processes, dedicated to the Eastern and Western Snow Conference Meetings. Detailed instructions on submitted publications to both the Eastern Snow Conference Proceedings and Hydrological Processes are found below.

Eastern Snow Conference Proceedings

As of 1999, there are now more options for authors preparing papers for the ESC Proceedings. Authors may choose to submit a full-length paper or an extended abstract for publication in the Proceedings. The review process is now optional, but encouraged as it improves the quality of the manuscript. Please inform the session chair at the meeting of your publication plans. This year, Robert Hellström and Susan Frankenstein are editors of the ESC proceedings.

All authors must mail camera-ready ESC papers or extended abstracts to Robert Hellström by August 1st. Electronic submission is highly encouraged. The Microsoft Word template and style guide available on the the ESC Website will greatly aid your preparation of a camera-ready manuscript or extended abstract.

Authors wishing peer-review of papers they are submitting to the ESC Proceedings should give drafts of their paper to their session chair at the conference. The session chairs will distribute the papers to the reviewers, collect the completed reviews, and forward papers and reviews to the ESC editors by early July. By 15 July, the editors will forward papers and reviews to authors along with instructions for preparing the final manuscript. These instructions can also be found at the ESC web site listed below.

E-Mail submissions and questions to:
