Earth and Space Sciences for the Future – Perspectives from Journals

Dr. Peter Fox, titan in the informatics community and Editor-in-Chief of AGU Earth and Space Science who passed away in March 2021, recorded this presentation for the Virtual Data Help Desk held in conjunction with last year's EGU General Assembly. Dr. Fox made significant contributions to both domain science and informatics. He started or championed numerous international organizations aimed at advancing the field of Earth science information and was an outstanding mentor and colleague for so many.
