2014年2月初， 美国地球物理联合会（AGU） 和Wiley共同宣布，将全新推出一份全新的同行评审开放获取期刊 ——Earth and Space Science . Earth Space and Science 是AGU在最近一年内推出的第二份开放获取新期刊，也是唯一一份展现了AGU 62,000名会员所从事的广泛研究领域的期刊，涵盖了所有地球、行星和空间科学，以及环境科学、地球工程、航天工程和生物地球化学等学科内的相关领域。 Earth and Space Science 将在编辑团队到位后立即开始接受投稿。稿件应展示并解释有助于更广泛的科学认识地球及其环境、太阳系及宇宙空间的重要数据集和观察结果。 Earth and Space Science 同时也欢迎为上述观察增加新维度或探讨方法学、理论、映射和建模等方面主题的研究项目。 除直接投稿外， Earth and Space Science 也欢迎其它期刊转介那些能够达到AGU优秀论文标准、但不符合其它期刊独特要求的论文。 AGU 主席Carol Finn说：“AGU的出版原则基于以下理解，作为地球和空间科学出版领域内的世界领先机构，我们有责任支持和提高相关科学的发展水平以及我们的科学家在改变周围世界方面的能力。我们知道，在通报基础和应用研究以及塑造社会决策方面，在同行评审刊物上发表高质量研究和观察报告可以发挥重要作用。 Earth and Space Science 正是为了满足这一需求而推出的，我们很高兴可以和Wiley这样的全球出版领先机构合作推出这份全新的开放获取期刊。” Wiley全球研究业务部副总裁兼出版主管Colette Bean表示：“能够有幸和AGU一同推出这份开创性的全新开放获取期刊，让Wiley感到非常自豪，这份期刊的内容相当广泛，涵盖了一些现有出版物未能充分介绍、正在快速发展中的新学科。我们致力于与AGU合作，拓展其在地球和空间科学领域内的开放获取期刊影响，并为研究界提供推动学术交流的一个全新的高质量平台。” Earth and Space Science 也将和其他知名的AGU期刊一样，由AGU进行严格的同行评审把控。这些期刊包括高排名的 Geophysical Research Letters 、 Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres 以及2013年推出的开放获取期刊 Earth's Future 。 Earth and Space Science 将根据知识共享署名授权（Creative Commons Attribution License）发表文章，使作者可以完全符合资助机构的开放获取要求（如适用）。出版费用将与其它类似的开放获取期刊相当。 目前 Earth and Space Science 正在寻找首任主编，他将负责领导一批与各学术领域联系紧密的学术编辑。 关于 Earth and Space Science 的更多信息，请参见 http://earthspacescience.agu.org 。Wiley中国博客也将及时与大家分享这本期刊的最新动态。
Open acess现在成为了期刊的新时尚，AGU也不甘落后，7月11日宣布，它将和Wiley合办一个开源期刊—Earth's Future，并从7月17日开始接受投稿。AGU负责审稿，Wiley负责出版。 ------ 这个期刊的办刊宗旨： Earth’s Future will emphasize the Earth as an interactive, evolving system under the influence of the human enterprise and will reflect the risks and opportunities associated with environmental changes and challenges. It will feature primary research across disciplines and connect it to policy through the inclusion of editorials, essays, reviews, and other commentary pieces. Contributors will tackle solutions to such grand challenges as population increase, industrial and agricultural development, urbanization, climate change, energy, food and water resource sustainability and security. Dr. Guy Brasseur has been appointed to lead the launch of Earth’s Future as its inaugural Editor-in-Chief. Brasseur is the director of Germany’s Climate Service Center. Previously, Dr. Brasseur was associate director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, and head of NCAR’s Earth and Sun Systems Laboratory. “ Earth’s Future represents an important and innovative contribution not only to transdiciplinary research, but also to the ability of the public and policy makers to navigate and connect with our science, and to successfully incorporate it into their decision making processes,” said AGU President Carol Finn. “AGU is pleased to be able to partner with a global leader like Wiley to provide this new platform for the exploration of global change and sustainability. Launching Earth’s Future represents a key achievement in our mission to promote discovery in the Earth and space sciences for the benefit of humanity.” “We are extremely excited to launch Earth's Future , an open access journal, with our partner AGU that spans the scope of their disciplines," said Colette Bean, Vice President and Associate Publishing Director in Wiley's Global Research business. "This is truly a unique publishing opportunity for emerging research within and beyond the geophysical research community. Earth's Future will play an important role in disseminating this critical research on a global scale." ------- 期刊主页： http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/%28ISSN%292328-4277 ----- 费用：如所有开源期刊一样，作者负担全部费用。
simply missed some "big talks" due to various reasons, here is the link for taped lectures: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/calendar/lectures/ I recommend three of them, at least . DEEPSEA CHALLENGE: New Science and Technology at Extreme Depths (The best talk in my view) AGU Presidential Forum - Ira Flatow, NPR Science (not great talk but he is a great NPR host o f Science Friday) Union Frontiers of Geophysics Lecture - Professor Sir Bob Watson, CMG, FRS, Chief Scientific Adviser to Defra (on page 2 ; a boring talk but it tells you how bad the CO2 emission is--due to "business as usual" since the 2007 IPCC report)
Well, you may disagree with me. For one thing, AMS has copy editors, at least it used to (since I haven't published anything with AMS lately), but AGU does not (and still does not). Both AMS and AGU started to post links to editing companies. If you exam the two sites, you will likely agree with me that AMS's links are better than AGU's. http://www.ametsoc.org/pubs/preeditservices.html http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/ You may wonder why I should care? Well, I was contacted by the CEO of AGU, regarding how to help researchers to improve their skills of writing and speaking (because my name and email were sent to her by someone on an AGU committee). Here is what I wrote to her: "I think the AGU can call for volunteers, especially those who have recently retired and want to stay in touch. Another way is to use freelancers like me. I checked the AGU site for authors, and it has three links to editing companies. I think more, and better, links should be added. (I made an attempt to be listed, but failed--the staff I contacted at the AGU didn't know how to find the person who is responsible for the web site.) For example, the AGU can list Nature Publishing Group Language Editing: http://languageediting.nature.com/editing-services Elsevier English language editing: http://webshop.elsevier.com/languageservices/ http://www.liwenbianji.cn/ is the biggest editing company in China. The AGU could also set up its own editing company..."
亚洲海洋地球科学学会（ AOGS ）与美国地球物理联合会（ AGU ）联合（ AOGS-AGU Joint Assembly ）在西太平洋国家每两年举行一次西太平洋地球物理会议（ WPGM ）, 今年确定在新加坡举行（ http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2012 ），时间为 2012 年 8 月 13 - 17 日 。 AOGS-AGU Joint Assembly 来函邀请我们召集一个分会，该分会有关信息如下 题目： Development of Marginal Basins of the NW Pacific and its Correlation to Tectonic Evolution of Other Circum-Pacific Regions 召集人： 主要召集人： Prof. Junyuan Xu (China University of Geosciences, China). 共同召集人： Prof. Zvi Ben-Avraham (Tel Aviv University, Israel) Prof. Tom Kelty (California State University, Long Beach, USA) Prof. Ho-Shing Yu (National Taiwan University, Taiwan) 内容： A great deal of research has been devoted to studying development of marginal basins in the NW Pacific since Wegener (1929) speculated that the basins had formed by extensional process. Under the classical plate tectonics, there are numerous hypotheses proposed to explain origin of these basins. But none of them is widely accepted. On the other hand, tectonics of other Circum-Pacific regions including Tibetan Plateau, Arctic, Western North America, Antarctic and Australia has been found to be related to tectonics of the NW Pacific in various ways. Purpose of this session is to exchange recent scientific knowledge on origin and evolution of the individual marginal basin and the marginal basin system in the NW Pacific, on tectonics of the other Circum-Pacific regions and on possible historical correlations between marginal basins of the NW Pacific and the other Circum-Pacific regions. 详细请连接 ： http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2012/mars/confSessionView.asp? sID=165 作为召集人，欢迎您参加此分会，该分会将讨论与西太平洋边缘盆地起源和演化各种有关构造物理问题，例如：西太平洋各边缘盆地自身构造、环太平洋其他地区构造（包括青藏高原构造以及北冰洋、北美、南极洲、澳大利亚等地区构造、西太平洋各边缘盆地构造与环太平洋其他地区构造两者联系（全球构造背景）。至现在，该分会还没有专门邀请有关知名专家作口头报告，以免“老生常谈”。如果您有新研究成果需要作口头报告，可来信提出要求，我们酌情满足（ 请注意：现在已经开始提交论文摘要 ）。 西太平洋地球物理在全球地球物理中占有独特地位，这是美国地球物理联合会（ AGU ）除一年一度举办涉全球范围地球物理的 Fall Meeting 外，还两年一度地专门与西太平洋国家（或地区）联合举办西太平洋地球物理会议的原因。西太平洋地区构造物理（ Tectonophysics ）问题又是全球固体地球科学（ Solid Earth Sciences ）领域最复杂、最令人困惑、最令人感兴趣的重大问题之一， 其中西北太平洋边缘盆地起源、青藏高原隆升 及其两者关系更是备受地球科学家乃至科学爱好者的关注。欢迎地球科学家，特别是年轻的地球科学家，投身到该问题研究、交流中去。 杨振宁 博士说： 20 世纪初物理学“遍地是黄金”。这里也要说： 21 世纪初从全球最深的马里亚纳海沟到最高的喜马拉雅山脉广大区域的构造物理学“到处是黄金”。 请去 Singapore ，说出您的想法，听取同行的意见，定有意想不到的收获。 AOGS – AGU (WPGM) Joint Assembly 13 to 17 August, 2012 Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore ========================================================================================== 后补 会场之一（摄于2012-08-13） 会场之二（摄于2012-08-14） ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2010-08-29并 2012-08-13所发博文: Singapore绿化环境好 --西太平洋地球物理会议（WPGM）期间初见 西太平洋地球物理会议 于今天正式开始（ 参见： 请去Singapore参加2012西太平洋地球物理会议（WPGM） ）。初来新加坡,感觉绿化环境真很好，所住的旅馆被绿树花丛环抱，人们以及小鸟享受其中。会议中心（the Sentosa Resorts World Convention Center）环境也同样优美（最后两张）。
agu会议已经结束了，由于时间安排或未参加会议的同志也不要悲伤，一些重要的session和union 都有录像，因为我只关心活动构造的相关的东西，以下是我收集的一些session的录像。 日本大地震section： A small comfort for all those who have missed the AGU2011 fall meeting (and so did I) might be that some sessions are now available on video for free. The AGU session on demand page has lots of videos, among them four sessions on the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. So if you’re ready for ~8 hrs of earthquake talks, you should definitely have a look. AGU2011 Tohoku earthquake session The April 2010 M7.2 Baja, Calif. Quake: On April 4, 2010, a long-locked segment of the boundary between the massive Pacific and North American tectonic plates ruptured violently just south of California's border with Mexico. While not "The Big One" that Southern Californians have long feared, the resulting magnitude 7.2 earthquake--the region's largest in nearly 120 years--was nonetheless an important earthquake. Felt throughout northern Baja California and a broad region of the American Southwest, the quake killed two, injured hundreds and caused substantial damage. But beyond its obvious physical effects, the quake has proven to be one of the most complex ever documented along the Pacific/North American tectonic plate margin, providing scientists a unique opportunity to better understand earthquake processes along this volatile plate boundary. New techniques of remote sensing and image analysis developed by NASA and other agencies have revealed numerous surprises about the quake and have greatly aided field geologists in mapping and understanding the rupture. In this briefing, observations of the quake and its aftermath by scientists at NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, California Geological Survey and the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education at Ensenada, Baja, Calif., will be detailed, along with results of new data analyses that show how this quake has increased the potential for additional large earthquakes throughout Southern California. 2010 M7.2 Baja, Calif. Quake
As a meteorologist (BS and MS) and an oceanographer (Ph.D), I have known the AGU and the AMS for a long time. As a contributing author on ocean modeling, I know where I would go to submit my manuscripts before I ever heard of the IF (impact factor). A recent conversation with a friend prompted me to take another look at these two societies again, which made me realize what superpowers they are! (Just check out EGU and AOGS yourself. There is no comparison.) AGU vs. AMS (where "A" stands for American) AMS: The AMS, founded in 1919 , is the nation's leading professional society for those involved in the atmospheric and related sciences. With more than 11,000 (13,000?) members , the Society promotes the development and dissemination of information on atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrologic sciences through scientific journals, conferences, and public education programs across the country. AGU: The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is an international non-profit scientific association with over 60,000 members . Established in 1919 as a committee within the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, AGU was independently incorporated in 1972. Since its founding, AGU is dedicated to furthering the sciences of geophysics through the individual efforts of our members and in cooperation with other national and international scientific organizations. These goals are met through publishing scientific journals and other technical publications, sponsoring scientific meetings of various sizes throughout the year and a variety of other educational and scientific activities. My impression was that the AMS was more serious about publication quality than the AGU. This is probably due to my personal experiences with JPO (by AMS) and GRL/JGR (by AGU). You can also tell by the listing at the AMS below. Editorial Staff: technical editors and copy editors http://www.ametsoc.org/pubs/index.html Lately, the AMS has added a new link, as many journals do nowadays. Pre-Submission Editing Services: http://www.ametsoc.org/PUBS/preeditservices.html Personally, I think the AMS can do better than listing these editing companies, but that's another Blog. The AGU has been making lots of progress. One thing I really like is their "Editors’ Highlight." http://www.agu.org/pubs/journals/highlights.shtml Clearly, the AGU care a lot about publications. For example, it shows the IF at its web site. http://www.agu.org/pubs/journals/statistics.shtml It also lists some editing companies at its web site, which really needs a "make over." Language-Editing Services http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/ I saw some pie charts at the AGU site, which show the publication brings in a net 2% (so does the membership). I don't know how to run a big non-profit organization like the AGU or the AMS, but I suppose 2% is a lot of money (and a lot of work) ...
