Thematic collections are curated sets of papers that present a timely snapshot of research in a topic of high current interest and importance. Edited by experts in the field, invited contributions undergo peer review to the normal Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society standards and are made available online upon acceptance. The papers are collated on a dedicated collection webpage on an ongoing basis which ensures that this significant research is visible to the community at the earliest opportunity.
If you are interested in proposing a thematic collection in Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society then please contact pygs@geolsoc.org.uk. Please provide a brief proposal for the Editorial Board to consider that outlines the aims and scope of the thematic collection, the guest editors and the envisaged contributions.

Chalk of the Northern Province: This thematic collection arose from a symposium at the University of Hull, 10–13 September 2015. The meeting was organized jointly by the Hull Geological Society, the Yorkshire Geological Society and the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of Hull, and was supported by the Stratigraphy Commission of the Geological Society of London.
