The open access peer-reviewed EGU journal, Geoscientific Model Development (GMD), was created in order to address the demand for better documentation and publication of models across the geosciences. In celebration of 10 years of successful publication, we invite model theorists, developers, users, and philosophers of the modern scientific process to discuss practical and theoretical approaches to model development, use, and publication. We particularly welcome contributions which address future developments in this field and bring past development into perspective.
