Edited By A. Halliday, University of Oxford, UK
Description A new section of short reviews called 'Frontiers' was introduced within the Elsevier journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters
(EPSL) in 2002 under the Editorship of Alex Halliday from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. These high profile Frontiers articles are written
by leading experts and published as the opening pages to regular issues of EPSL. The reason for this development is that the Editors
of EPSL believe there is an important niche to be filled with fast communications that bring the scientific community up-to-speed on
interesting new areas of science. Frontiers articles are therefore specifically intended for the non-specialist earth and planetary science
readership.
In order to reach a broader readership, those without subscriptions to the journal, Frontiers articles will now also be
published in a new book series, the EPSL Frontiers series. Volume 1 will contain all 2002 and 2003 Frontiers articles. Future volumes
will contain one year of articles each.
