Changes to the Marine Geology Editorial Team in 2015
The year 2015 marks an important editorial transition for Marine Geology. David Piper has stepped down as one of the journal’s co-Editors-inChief, to be succeeded by Michele Rebesco who will join Gert J. de Lange and John Wells on the editorial team. David joined the editorial board in 1995, becoming Editor-in-Chief in 1998, working tirelessly for the journal since his appointment. In the ten years since the online submission system was set up in April 2004, David has processed almost 900 papers to final decision, overseen a variety of special issue projects from conception to publication and, most recently, contributed to the very successful ‘State of the Art’ Marine Geology special issue to celebrate the journal’s 50th anniversary. He will continue to be involved with Marine Geology as a member of the editorial board and we are fortunate to be able to continue to benefit from his expertise. We are grateful for his record of distinguished service, particularly given that the editorship is a volunteer position and the Editor must find time to fulfil the function, which competes with other responsibilities. 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. It has been a pleasure to work with him. As David stands down, so we have the opportunity and privilege to welcome Michele Rebesco to the team of Marine Geology Editors-in-Chief. Michele began overseeing the peer review of manuscripts submitted to the journal in late 2014 in order to ensure a smooth transition Michele is a marine geologist at OGS, the Italian National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics in Trieste. This research centre owns and manages the Research Vessel OGS Explora built for 2D marine seismic acquisition. Michele is part of the Geosciences research group, that he has been leading in the last 10 years, and that is specialised in the interpretation of geophysical and geological data from marine basins. He studied at the University of Parma, where he took a PhD with a thesis on the discovery of the contourite drifts of the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula. He has been involved in the study of deep marine sedimentary processes since the very beginning of the nineties, first on land clastic oucrops and then on marine geophysical and geological datasets from polar areas. His main research interests are in developing understandings of deep-sea clastic sedimentary processes and in particular those under the influence of bottom- current controlled processes. He is also greatly interested in glacial sedimentary processes in the marine realm, either on continental shelves and slopes, or in mass wasting and continental slope instabilities. We are confident that Michele 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.
