Changes to the Marine Geology Editorial Team in 2016
For left to right: Edward, John, Michele, and Gert at AGU-Fall, 2015.
The year 2016 marks another important editorial transition for Marine Geology. John T. Wells has stepped down as one of the journal’s co-Editors-in-Chief, and has been succeeded by Edward Anthony who will join Gert J. de Lange and Michele Rebesco on the editorial team. John joined the editorial board in 1992, becoming co-Editor-in-Chief in 2000, and has been unwavering in his efforts for the journal since then. With research specialising on the sedimentology, morphology and evolutionary processes of clastic sedimentary environments, he has processed nearly 1300 manuscripts for Marine Geology since the online submission system was established in 2004. John has contributed to the community in various other ways during his career; he has been a panellist, an institute director and a reviewer for a number of prestigious organisations, and in 1998 received the Distinguished Teaching Award at UNC-Chapel Hill for post-baccalaureate instruction. Marine Geology will continue to benefit from John’s expertise as he has agreed to remain involved as a member of the editorial board. On behalf of all at Elsevier and in the community at large who have worked closely with him over the years, we offer our thanks and warm appreciation to him for his dedication, friendship, and distinguished service that he has given us alongside all his other commitments. It has been a pleasure to work with him. As John stands down, so we have the opportunity and privilege to welcome Edward Anthony to the team of Marine Geology Editors-in-

Chief. Edward is a coastal geomorphologist and sedimentologist at AixMarseille University in France, and is part of the CEREGE team, a renowned laboratory in France specialised in research and post-graduate training in environmental science. Edward has been a board member of Marine Geology since 2006, is author of the book 'Shore Processes and Their Palaeoenvironmental Applications', published in 2009 in the Elsevier series "Developments in Marine Geology" (Volume 4), and began overseeing the peer review of manuscripts submitted to the journal in late 2015 in order to ensure a smooth transition. Edward studied at the University of Sierra Leone and the Université Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, and has held a number of positions at a variety of top institutes. He is engaged in research activities that focus on the geomorphology, sediment dynamics, ecology and management of alluvial coasts, with particular specialisation on the Amazon-influenced coasts of South America, West Africa, the Mediterranean, the Mekong Delta and the North Sea. Edward has supervised 26 PhD theses to date. Along the way, his contributions have been recognised in official capacities: Officer of the Academic Palms, and Senior laureate of the Institut Universitaire de France. We are confident that Edward will be an excellent ambassador for Marine Geology and that he will continue to develop and sustain our Journal, and wish him every success and enjoyment in his new role.
