Volume 31 No 2: Resource Efficiency (full call for papers)
MRD call for papers on "Resource Efficiency" (submit by 15 October 2010)
MRD Vol 31 No 2 (May 2011) will focus on “Resource Efficiency.” With an issue on this theme, MRD aims to contribute novel research insights and validated development experiences to the 10 Year Framework Program of the Marrakech Process that will be launched in February 2011 as well as to the emerging debate on "Green Economy". We assume that experiences of, and insights into, efficient use of natural resources in mountain areas will benefit an audience beyond the “mountain research and development communities”. Papers must be submitted by 15 October 2010. Download the full call for papers for further details.

Discover MRD's Article Mapper, based on Google Map
The Article Mapper permits a global overview of MRD research papers, along with information on the location, scale,
and subjects of all research articles published from 1991 to 2008. It is now possible to see the topics and mountain locations that have been covered to date in MRD, and spot where research gaps exist and could usefully be covered by future papers.
