Geophysical Research Letters

Geophysical Research Letters publishes short, concise research letters that present scientific advances that are likely to have immediate influence on the research of other investigators. GRL letters can focus on a specific discipline or apply broadly to the geophysical science community.

GRL is a Letters journal; limiting manuscript size expedites the review and publication process. A magazine-sized GRL can reach and be of interest to the largest AGU audience. With this goal, the Editorial Board evaluates manuscripts submitted to GRL according to the following criteria:

• Is it a short, concise research letter?
• Does it contain important scientific advances?
• Would it have immediate impact on the research of others?

GRL has been in publication since 1974. The Editors are adapting GRL to the evolving needs of the Earth science community. GRL Editors are now topical: the subject of the paper determines which Editor handles the review.
