AB: Earth Interactions, an electronic journal published by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS), in collaboration with the American Association of Geographers (AAG), has been recently "re-launched" with a new Editorial Team and a new scientific focus. For the past six months, we have worked very hard to revitalize Earth Interactions, and to establish it as a top-notch publication venue for interdisciplinary earth and environmental sciences. So far, the results have been outstanding. Our submission rate has increased dramatically, while the overall quality of articles remains extremely high. Furthermore, articles in Earth Interactions are now among the most sought-after articles in the AMS electronic publication system, and we believe they will have tremendous impact. Earth Interactions continues to seek excellent papers that explore the interactions among the biological, physical and human components of the earth system. We consider a wide variety of manuscript styles, including the following: original research articles; review articles; brief "data reports" and "model reports"; and special collections of papers from conferences and workshops In this presentation, I will describe how Earth Interactions has been re-launched, and the challenges facing this electronic publication.
