Patricia Soranno, a professor in the department of fisheries and wildlife at Michigan State University, has been named the founding editor-in-chief of the new journal Limnology and Oceanography Letters. The journal is published by the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography. Limnology is the study of lakes and other land-locked bodies of water.
“The founding of this new journal is a wonderful opportunity for moving the aquatic sciences forward by showcasing the very best our science has to offer in a high-impact venue and by capitalizing on the emerging developments in both publishing and science,” said Professor Soranno.
Professor Soranno joined the Michigan State University faculty in 1996. She holds a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in limnology and oceanography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
