[Coral-List] Biogeosciences, a new EGU journal

[Biogeosciences, Editors-in-Chief]

Dear Colleague:

It is our pleasure to announce the launch of a new open access 
journal of the European Geosciences Union: Biogeosciences (BG).

The main fields covered are:
	- Biodiversity and ecosystem function
	- Biogeochemistry
	- Biogeophysics
	- Earth system sciences
	- Paleobiogeosciences
	- Astrobiology and Exobiology

Biogeosciences has an innovative two-stage publication process which 
involves a scientific discussion forum (Biogeosciences Discussions) 
and exploits the full potential of the Internet to:
	- foster scientific discussion,
	- enhance the effectiveness and transparency of scientific 
quality assurance,
	- enable rapid publication,
	- make scientific publications freely accessible,
	- offer an efficient new way of publishing special issues

We invite you to disseminate this information within your community 
(students, colleagues, bulletin boards,...) and to submit your best 
papers for publication in Biogeosciences. Detailed information is 
available on the journal web site: http://www.biogeosciences.net. 
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need additional 
information.

We apologize for cross postings.

On behalf of the editorial board,
Best wishes,
--
