What's New

This past fall the AMS Council made the very important decision to eliminate all authors charges associated with publishing in Weather, Climate, and Society. Executive Director Keith Seitter notes “This change in policy acknowledges that the author base for this journal is different from that of the other AMS journals, and highlights the commitment of the Society to engage with those in the social sciences as integral members of the AMS community.”

The 1 February 2016 deadline to apply for a 2016/17 Congressional Fellowship is right around the corner. The AMS Congressional Science Fellowship makes it possible for one scientist to spend a full year in the U.S. Congress working on science policy issues. Apply now!

Register now for the upcoming AMS Policy Program Summer Policy Colloquium, taking place 6–14 June 2016. Participation is limited to no more than 50 participants so register today to reserve a spot.

AMS has posted a new "Insight" to its website. Following the COP21 Climate Summit in Paris, the Insight examines the vital role science will play in the future success of global plans to cut future greenhouse gas emissions.
