Outstanding Associate Editors
Associate editors play a key role in helping GSA Bulletin and Geosphere science editors make decisions on submitted manuscripts by guiding these papers through the review process. Associate editors invite reviewers, summarize reviewers’ findings, and make a recommendation to the science editor based on those reviews and their own evaluation of a manuscript.
To those who have volunteered to serve as associate editors and contributed their time and expertise to ensure that GSA’s publications are scientifically of the highest quality, GSA thanks you. The GSA journal science editors have selected the following associate editors for special recognition of the quality of their recommendations and/or the level of their involvement in revision.
