Announcing new journal sections on PLOS Climate!

We are excited to announce the launch of four new sections on PLOS Climate! These sections will help expand the interdisciplinary dialogue in PLOS Climate, and have been designed to provide a dedicated space for research in some of the most important emerging areas of climate science. The new sections are:
Methods in Climate Science
Example topics include: computational methods; validation of new methodological approaches; citizen science; software/hardware validation; meta-research design; research on statistical methods in climate science
Climate Impacts and Attribution
Example topics include: regional/local impacts; attribution of weather/climate events to climate change; attribution methods
Climate Resilience, Extremes and Tipping Points
Example topics include: extreme weather events; tipping points in the earth system; earth system resilience
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
Example topics include: ML/AI in climate monitoring and prediction; ML/AI in early warning systems; ML/AI in energy systems; energy efficiency of ML/AI; ethics of AI in climate science
These new sections will welcome submissions across all our article types: Research Articles, Opinions, Reviews and Essays.
We are currently recruiting a team of Section Editors to lead these sections, as well as Academic Editors to oversee rigorous editorial evaluation and peer review. If you are interested in joining our growing community of editors, please let us know!
