Gregory Pasternack, Professor of Watershed Hydrology at the University of California (USA), is appointed new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Ecohydraulics!
This appointment follows an open and competitive selection process led by IAHR. Prof. Pasternack was chosen for his strong scientific track record, clear editorial direction, and longstanding engagement with the ecohydraulics community.
The community extends sincere thanks to the outgoing Editor, Takashi Asaeda, for his dedicated leadership and contributions to the journal’s continued growth and success.
On accepting the role, Prof. Pasternack highlighted a practical, author-supportive editorial approach aimed at strengthening the quality and clarity of published research while maintaining each author’s intent and voice.
“My mission is to help authors turn novel findings into final articles that are rigorous, replicable, and well connected to past literature and future directions.”
He also noted that he plans to introduce new peer-review approaches that better support the editorial team, authors, and reviewers.
Editorial priorities outlined for submitted manuscripts include:
- Clear structure grounded in the scientific method
- Technical soundness with sufficient detail to support replication
- Strong linking of prior research to forward-looking ideas while preserving the original voice of authors
Further details are expected in the coming weeks. For information about the journal, scope, and access, visit the
