Editorial

As your new editor for JGR-Red, one of my highest priorities is to reduce the publication delay of interesting and good papers in geophysics and related solid earth science. These papers, even the· speculative ones, are the lifeblood of solid earth science, and I would like to attract a higher percentage of these than previously seen in the journal. Moreover, I would like to encourage the submission of short reports and comments (three to five manuscript pages), which comment on recent papers, present new or additional data, analysis, or theory, that do not fit the format of a longer paper or are not appropriate for submission to a letter journal.
