Changing of the guard with significant contributions in low temperature, high temperature, and planetary geochemistry, and is unusually well placed to edit a journal of such breadth. He intends to return to the system of Associate Editors used by Denis Shaw and Gunter Faure, and has a capable international group of scholars to assist him. On behalf of the membership of both the Geochemical Society and the Meteoritical Society, I welcome Frank to his new role, and wish him the success that I am sure he will achieve in maintaining and improving Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta as the world’s pre-eminent geochemical journal.
With this first issue of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta in the new millennium our journal, and the Geochemical and Meteoritical Societies, enter a new era. After three years of somewhat boisterous leadership, Karl Turekian is stepping aside. Karl assumed the editorship with a clear mandate from the Meteoritical and Geochemical Societies to maintain and strengthen the journal. He set high standards for the journal with the goal of improving its already high quality. I believe that he has achieved that goal. The Meteoritical and Geochemical Societies both owe a debt of gratitude to Karl. The two Societies have been fortunate to have attracted outstanding editors to the helm of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, and next Editor is no exception: Frank Podosek has agreed to serve. Frank is a broad and deep scholar
