Annals of Glaciology

Annals of Glaciology is the journal of the International Glaciological Society and is published on the society's behalf by Cambridge University Press. It has appeared since 1980, and each issue is thematic, taking a single subject that runs from ice-core drilling to sea ice. The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4.《冰川学纪要》是国际冰川学会的会刊，由剑桥大学出版社代该学会出版，自 1980 年起刊行。每期围绕一个主题专辑组织，选题从冰芯钻探到海冰皆有，2025 年期刊影响因子为 2.4。

Scope

• The remit is original scientific articles and letters in selected aspects of glaciology, which the journal defines as the study of ice.收稿范围是冰川学选定方面的原创科学论文与快报，该刊把冰川学解释为对冰的研究。

• Because each issue is thematic, the subject matter moves with the theme instead of following a fixed list of subfields.由于每期都是主题专辑，选题随主题而变，并不依照一份固定的分支学科清单。

• Recent themes have included Glaciers and Ice Sheets in a Warming Climate, Ice Core Drilling Technology and Sea Ice in a Changing Environment.近期专辑主题包括「变暖气候中的冰川与冰盖」「冰芯钻探技术」与「变化环境中的海冰」。

• Two more themes named on the about page are the contribution of glaciers and ice sheets to sea level change, and glaciology in High Mountain Asia.宗旨页另举出两个主题，即冰川与冰盖对海平面变化的贡献，以及高山亚洲的冰川学。

• Themes are not settled by the editors alone. Proposals come from the glaciological community and go to the Council of the International Glaciological Society.主题不由编辑单方面定夺。提案由冰川学界提出，送交国际冰川学会理事会。

• Articles report new findings and theories, or new instruments and methods, and the same category takes review articles that give an up-to-date account of a subject developing fast or long neglected.「Articles」刊载新发现与新理论，也刊载新仪器与新方法，同一栏目还收综述，条件是综述对某一快速发展或长期被忽视的方向给出及时而连贯的梳理。

• Letters are topical and shorter, and the processing charge for them is substantially reduced.「Letters」选题性强而篇幅较短，处理费按较低标准收取。

• A comment on a paper already published is handled as a letter, whatever its length.对已发表论文的评论按快报处理，篇幅长短不影响这一归类。

• Communications are short pieces without abstracts, and the category covers comments, book reviews and short correspondence on matters the community is following.「Communications」是不带摘要的短稿，涵盖评论、书评与学界关心的短函。

• For the purpose of Gold Open Access funding, Articles and Letters both count as research articles.在金色开放获取资助的口径下，论文与快报都算研究论文。

• Coverage is broad by design. Since issue 1 on the use of icebergs in 1980 and issue 2 on glacier erosion and sedimentation in 1981, every branch of glaciology has appeared in at least one issue.覆盖面有意放宽。自 1980 年讨论冰山利用的第 1 期与 1981 年讨论冰川侵蚀与沉积的第 2 期起，冰川学的每个分支都至少在一期中出现过。

• Volume titles alone name radioglaciology, ice drilling, ice streams and outlet glaciers, snow and avalanches, glacier erosion and sedimentation, sea ice, ice cores, remote sensing and glaciology in High Mountain Asia.仅看各卷标题即可见其范围，从射电冰川学与冰钻探，到冰流、雪崩，再到海冰与冰芯，还有遥感与高山亚洲冰川学，皆在其中。

History

• Volume 1 belongs to 1980 and carries the Cambridge conference on the use of icebergs, which weighed the scientific and practical feasibility of the idea.第 1 卷属于 1980 年，收录在剑桥举行的冰山利用会议论文，讨论这一设想在科学与实务上是否可行。

• Charles Swithinbank edited that opening volume, and Garry Clarke edited volume 2 in 1981, the symposium on processes of glacier erosion and sedimentation held at Geilo in Norway.该卷由（Charles Swithinbank）编辑。1981 年的第 2 卷收录冰川侵蚀与沉积过程研讨会论文，（Garry Clarke）任编辑，会议在挪威耶卢举行。

• Volume 3 in 1982 carried the third international symposium on Antarctic glaciology, edited again by Swithinbank and held in Columbus, Ohio.1982 年的第 3 卷收录第三届南极冰川学国际研讨会论文，仍由（Charles Swithinbank）编辑，会议在美国俄亥俄州哥伦布举行。

• Those first volumes were symposium proceedings, each tied to a meeting and to a named editor, and the format held for decades.最初几卷都是研讨会论文集，每卷对应一次会议与一位署名编辑，这一体例延续了数十年。
