Call for Papers: Special Issue on ‘The Future Role of Greenland’ in the Journal of Island and Marine Studies | CBCGDF Oecan&Wetlands WG

The Journal of Island and Marine Studies (JIMS) invites submissions for a special issue on ‘The Future Role of Greenland.’ Greenland’s ice sheet, a critical frozen reservoir, offers insights into past and future climate change. Recent studies show an accelerating loss of ice, contributing to rising sea levels due to complex interactions between atmospheric circulation, albedo changes, and local factors. This highlights the urgent need to understand and mitigate climate change impacts.



Beyond ice dynamics, Greenland’s unique marine and terrestrial ecosystems, home to species like the narwhal, face significant environmental pressures. Balancing economic development with environmental conservation is crucial as industrial activities increase and traditional lifestyles are challenged. Additionally, Greenland’s strategic location and resources have drawn geopolitical interest, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of its future role.

Submissions are welcome on the following topics:

  • Climate change and ice sheet dynamics
  • Marine ecosystems and biodiversity
  • Sustainable development and economic opportunities
  • Cultural heritage and social consensus
  • Policy, governance, and international cooperation

Papers should be between 5,000 and 15,000 words and follow JIMS submission guidelines available at Guidelines for Authors. Manuscripts should include a cover letter, author biography, title page, structured abstract, research manuscript, and references. The title page should list the paper title, author names, institutional affiliations, and keywords.



For more information or to submit a paper, contact the special issue co-editors. Individual papers will be published online upon completing the peer review and editorial process. All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to *** jims.editoralboard@gmail.com ***.

For further details, visit the JIMS website at Journal of Island and Marine Studies.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
