Associate Editors play a key role in helping _GSA Bulletin_ and _Geosphere_ Science Editors make decisions on submitted manuscripts by guiding these papers through the review process. Associate Editors invite reviewers, summarize reviewers’ findings, and make a recommendation to the Science Editor based on those reviews and their own evaluation of a manuscript. Volunteering as an Associate Editor has allowed you to assist with peer review, provide expert consultations, gain editorial experience, and serve the scientific community.
