The YESS community is happy to announce that the YESS paper ‘Earth System Science Frontiers – an ECS perspective‘ has been accepted for publication in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS), currently available as an early online release.
In the paper, an active group of young Earth system scientists describe their long-term vision of the frontiers of Earth system science, paving the way towards an integrated understanding of the Earth system. The paper is an outcome of the World Meteorological Organization-funded Early Career Researchers Workshop at the German Weather service in Offenbach, Germany, in October 2015 and focuses on four frontiers: seamless Earth system prediction, communication, user-driven science, and interdisciplinarity.
