GEOS-Chem model development priorities
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 Working Groups and the Steering Committee.
We also invite you to view our GEOS-Chem Support Team project management board on Trello.com, which shows the current GCST workflow.

Priorities assigned to upcoming GEOS-Chem versions
12.3.0
This version is currently in development. See the GEOS-Chem 12 wiki page for details.
12.4.0
The items listed below are slated to be included in GEOS-Chem 12.4.0. This is a feature release which will be validated with a 1-month benchmark simulation and a 1-year benchmark simulation.
