Dr. Philip Chatwin, University of Sheffield, UK Dr. Gedeon Dagan, Tel Aviv University, ISRAEL Dr, John List, California Institute of Technology, USA Dr, Chiang Mei, Massachusetts Institute of Technoiogy, USA Dr. Stuart Savage, McGill University, CANADA Topics for the new series include, but are not limited to:

+ Small-to medium scale atmospheric dynamics: turbulence,. convection, dispersion, aerosols, buoyant plumes, air pollution over cities

• Coastal oceanography: air-sea interaction, wave climate, wave interaction with tides, current structures and coastlines, sediment transport and shoreline evolution • Estuary dynamics: sediment transport, cohesive sediments, density stratification, salinity intrusion, thermal pollution, dispersion, fluid-mud dynamics, and the effects of flow on the transport of toxic wastes • Physical limnology: internal seiches, sediment resuspensions, nutrient distribution, and wind-induced currents • Subsurface flow and transport (the unsaturated zone and groundwater): diffusion and dispersion of solutes, fingering, macropore flow, reactive solutes, motion of organics and non-aqueous liquids, volatilization, microbial effects on organics, density effects, colloids motion and effect, and effects of field scale heterogeneity • Debris flows, initiated by lava flow from volcanic eruptions; mud flows caused by mountain storms; snow avalanches, granular flows, and evolution of deserts • Oil spills on the sea surface and clean-up • Indoor contamination: transport of particles in enclosed space, clean room technology, effects of temperature variation • Risk assessment: industrial accidents resulting in the release of toxic or flammable gasses, assessment of air and water quality • New methods of data acquisition: the use of HF radar, satellites, and Earth Observation Science • Stochastic models and Mass transfer
