Overview
Call for papers: Special Issue of International Journal of Coal Geology in Memory/Honor of Professor Colin R Ward
We are planning a special issue of the International Journal of Coal Geology in Honor and Memory of Professor Colin R Ward from the University of New South Wales Sydney and China University of Mining and Technology, who passed away on 18 September, 2018.
Colin was instrumental in our understanding of the inorganic chemistry and mineralogy of coal and coal-bearing sequences throughout the world. He also taught, trained and supervised generations of Australian and international undergraduate and postgraduate students, especially those from Asia, in the fields of sedimentology, coal geology, petroleum geology and quantitative X-ray diffraction. Colin was also instrumental in applying new analytical techniques to geological problems such as Siroquant and more recently, XRF core scanning. He dedicated a large part of his life to research and was still working on research papers up until a few days before his passing. He truly was a world-leading researcher in coal geology and coal-bearing sequences.
We therefore invite any contributions related to coal geology and coal-bearing sequences, especially those from his colleagues and former students for this special issue. Review articles are very welcome and will help to make this issue a crucial resource in the field of coal geology. Colin greatly inspired many of us and we intend to make this special issue one that Colin would be proud of.
