A good start - but time for new leadership in the editorship of the Journal of Ecohydraulics

摘要

After five years at the helm since being appointed as founding Editors-in-Chief (EIC) of the new Journal of Ecohydraulics (TJoE) in 2015, it is time for both of us to move on. Since the announcement made at the 2015 IAHR World Congress (Delft - The Hague, The Netherlands), that TJoE will join the suite of publications hosted by this worldwide independent organisation of engineers, scientists, specialists and practitioners, we have seen the journal grow to be the leading outlet for those engaged in ecohydraulic endeavours. Ecohydraulics is a newer section of IAHR, which brought enthusiasm for interdisciplinary work, with emphasis on ecological aspects integrated with hydraulics and hydro-environmental sciences. The first international symposium on Ecohydraulics (ISE) was in 1994 (Trondheim, Norway) and successful biennial ISEs have been organized ever since, which continue to engage ecologists, biologists, environmental, social and climate change scientists, in addition to hydraulic and environmental engineers, hydrologists, geomorphologists, fluid mechanics and ice specialists, water resource managers,regulators and policy makers, natural resource managers, and conservationists. Ecohydraulic sessions have also energized IAHR World Congresses, especially since 2009 (Vancouver, Canada).
