Dear colleagues,

There has been a lot of activity recently regarding the production of the Orientation Paper on Global Systems Science. First of all we would like to thank very much those who have contributed to our GSS discussions so far, either with pieces of text, the EC consultation process and of course via the GSS blog!

So we think it’s now high time to show what we have been doing so far. Please find attached the long version v2 of the GSS Orientation Paper (2013-05-23) [PDF, 2.8 MB]. There are still some gaps and changes that will be carried in the coming days. Out of this long document we will produce a summary which will be presented and discussed in our GSS Brussels conference in June 10-12.

You can post you general comments on the text on the GSS blog, or if you have some specific comments regarding edits, typos or other issues that you do not consider of general interest to joandavid.tabara@globalclimateforum.org

Thanks a lot for your contribution to this process!

J. David Tàbara, on behalf of editors Carlo Jaeger, Patrik Jansson, Sander van der Leeuw, and Michael Resch
