Call for Papers for Special Issue on Anthropogenic Climate Change

A Video Message from the Editors

CCH will publish a 'rolling special issue', or thematic strand, on anthropogenic climate change. This call invites proposals for contributions on all aspects relating to anthropogenic climate change in history. The ‘early anthropogenic hypothesis’ (EAH), introduced by William Ruddiman, allows for the discussion of several periods in the long Holocene with regard to the potential impact of land use change on the climate system prior to industrialisation. However, the EAH remains controversial. We welcome proposals for reviews on the state of the art of debates on concrete cases, and for opinion pieces that take a clear position in ongoing controversies. In contrast, the anthropogenic causes of recent climate change are undisputed among scientists outside the circles of climate change denialism. We seek contributions on all aspects – political, economic, social and cultural – of recent global warming. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries are often underrepresented in studies of historical climate research. It is a general purpose of CCH to foster expansion of historical climate research into recent and contemporary periods. Regarding article formats and the publication procedure, please see the Open Call, below.

Open Call for Papers

A Video Message from the Editors

CCH is a new open access journal with three to five issues being planned in its first two years. At least two of the first five issues of CCH will have special thematic focuses, for which special calls will follow. The other issues are open to proposals responsive to the journal’s general thematic scope, which covers the entire field of study of climates and climatic changes in human history. Contributions can be either presentations of original research, reviews, perspectives, or teaching articles. The general purpose and format of these article types are explained here. Proposals should specify the article format. Authors may submit their articles via this website or, if they wish, may contact the CCH editors for a preliminary conversation (cch-editors@uni-bielefeld.de). Note that all article types mentioned above will have to pass double-blind peer review.
