Planet Water: Challenges and Successes. Topics to be discussed include the role of science at the center of all economic, societal and environmental recovery and development efforts, studies on renewable energy, environmental sustainability, clean water, and rebuilding and maintaining terrestrial ecosystems.

We are celebrating the 15^th anniversary of L&O: Methods with a collection of the top-cited or top-downloaded articles in each of the past 15 years. In them, you will see the continuing evolution of the aquatic sciences, even over so short a time. Enjoy reading!
