Lecture Overview
The Department of Earth System Science at Tsinghua University is hosting a public academic lecture. Dr. Michael White, Senior Editor at Nature, will join online to explain how climate change-related research is published in Nature. Registration is free, and the lecture will also be livestreamed online.
The inner workings of high profile journals can be mysterious. How do they decide what to publish, or even to send out to review? How is the process managed? What are the odds of getting published? Do they publish papers only in the interests of being controversial and getting press coverage? And who makes the decisions? Michael White -- Nature's editor for climate -- discusses the overall journal processes and specific themes behind the climate science research published in Nature over the past 13 years.
Speaker Bio
Dr. Michael White is Nature's editor for climate science. He handles submissions related to the atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere, and hydrology, and has extensive experience with interdisciplinary submissions in Earth system science. He works closely with Nature's editors for biogeoscience, economics, and ecology. Before joining Nature in 2008, Dr. White was a researcher at Utah State University, where his work focused on land surface phenology and terrestrial biogeochemistry using computational models and satellite remote sensing.
Michael White is Nature's senior editor for climate science. He came to Nature in 2008, after an academic career focused on land surface phenology, the terrestrial carbon cycle, and climate impacts. He handles all of the physical science submissions on atmospheres, oceans, the cryosphere and hydrology - past, present and future, on Earth and other planets. He also works closely with Nature's editors for biogeoscience and ecology, and thinks of his expertise as being in Earth System Science, broadly defined, rather than in one particular area of climate.
