On this page we list the current priorities for GEOS-Chem development. This list was compiled by the user Working Groups at the last [http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/meetings/2017/index.html International GEOS-Chem Meeting (IGC8)] in May 2017 and will be continuously updated based on code readiness and input from the Working Groups and the Steering Committee.

On this page we list the current priorities for GEOS-Chem development. This list is continuously updated based on code readiness and input from the [https://geos-chem.seas.harvard.edu/geos-working-groups Working Groups] and the [https://geos-chem.seas.harvard.edu/geos-steering-cmte Steering Committee]. For history of past releases see the [[GEOS-Chem_versions|GEOS-Chem Versions wiki page]].
  
We also invite you to view our [https://trello.com/board/geos-chem-support-team/4fe36668fc79a1d3540ba80b GEOS-Chem Support Team project management board on Trello.com], which shows the current GCST workflow.

== Feature integration in progress ==

Features listed in this table are actively being integrated into GEOS-Chem by the [https://geoschem.github.io/support-team.html GEOS-Chem Support Team]. In addition, we continuously implement structural updates in the model to maintain and develop coupling with other models including GEOS, CESM, and the model adjoint.

+
*[https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/pull/2348 geos-chem PR #2348]
**Create files with zero emissions for 2012/09 thru 2012/12.
+
*[https://github.com/geoschem/geos-chem/pull/2349 geos-chem PR #2349]
***But because data for 2013- is copied from 2012, this will mean that the last 3 months of the year have no volcano emissions.
+
* More PRs in progress
**Link to the existing volcano emsisions files for September thru December

*We are not planning on resuming work to unify units in GEOS-Chem anytime soon. Any changes to units in the near future would be for better compatibility with other models, although none are currently planned. However, user consensus on preferred units would still be helpful to move the conversation forward.
