MTS JOURNAL WELCOMES NEW EDITOR, ALICIA GORTON & OTHER JOURNAL NEWS
Beginning with the May/June issue, Alicia Gorton, project manager and ocean engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), will serve a three-year term as editor for the Marine Technology Society Journal. “As a member of the editorial board since 2019, and as an expert in the marine science field, Alicia will continue to elevate the publication through her knowledge and dedication to ocean science,” said Lisel Hotaling, MTS Vice President of Publications and Communications.
As editor, Gorton will review all papers submitted to the journal; help engage additional peer reviewers for papers; coordinate special issue topics and themes; strategize communication and dissemination channels to increase readership, visibility, and industry impact; and author opening forwards for all general issues.
Gorton has been a strong contributor to the journal. Last year, she served as guest editor of a special issue focused on research and development efforts among industry, academia, and national laboratories that can advance marine clean energy.
She will also co-lead another special issue that focuses on buoy technology with colleagues from RD Sea International and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. That issue will be published in March/April 2022.
Gorton oversees two lidar offshore wind research buoys for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind Energy Technologies Office. Most recently, the buoys were launched off the northern and central coasts of California for the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which is gathering wind measurements to support decisions on potential leasing of wind energy sites that will bring a new renewable energy source to the state. She also serves as the deputy director of PNNL’s Center for the Remediation of Complex Sites, which provides scientific and technical expertise to support environmental remediation and site stewardship decisions nationally and internationally.
