Editorial Policy

STREAM NOTES is produced quarterly by the Stream Systems Technology Center, Fort Collins, Colorado.

Our PRIMARY AIM is to exchange technical ideas and transfer technology among scientists working with wildland stream systems. To make this newsletter a success, we need voluntary contributions of relevant articles or items of general interest. YOU can help by taking the time to share innovative approaches to problem solving that you may have developed.

CONTRIBUTIONS are voluntary and will be accepted at any time. They should be typewritten, single-spaced, limited to two pages or 1000 words in length. Graphics and tables are encouraged. Electronic submissions should meet the same criteria.

We reserve editorial judgments regarding appropriate relevance, style, and content to meet our objective of improving scientific knowledge. Send all contributions to: Stream Systems Technology Center, Attention: STREAM NOTES Editor.
