Thank you for submitting your manuscript to Geoscience Communication, and for already engaging so thoroughly in the peer review process. Please could you make all of the changes that you indicate in your response to the reviewers and then upload this new manuscript. This will then be sent to the reviewers, and if they (and myself) am happy that you have addressed all of their concerns (which you have already indicated in your responses) then we will be able to take this manuscript forwards.

Please do take the time to very carefully proofread the manuscript for any and all grammatical and typographical errors, as at times it does affect the flow of the writing. Your suggestion of asking a native speaker to carefully proofread and edit the work is an excellent idea.

I look forward to seeing the next version of this manuscript, and thank you again for considering Geoscience Communication for publishing your work.

Many Thanks,

Sam

Thank you for engaging so thoroughly once again with the peer review process. I am confident that once you make all of the adjustments to your manuscript that the reviewers have recommended (as you have suggested in the response to the author's comments) that this will be ready for publication. I look forward to receiving the next version of this manuscript to check that they have been fully implemented.

Sam

Dear Authors,

Thank you for your revised manuscript and commentary, which carefully addresses the critiques from the reviewers. I am especially grateful of your point-by-point response and clearly labelled adjustments. The manuscript is much improved as a result of these changes. However, I would like you to make one further change before we publish the manuscript:

The new classification of recommendations in section 6 is a welcome addition, but it looks slightly messy. Could this be reformatted as a table or in some other way to help the reader in terms of what is new, ongoing, and recent work?

Many Thanks,

Sam

Thank you for making the changes to the manuscript as I outlined in my previous communications. I am now delighted to say that this work is ready for publication in Geoscience Communication. Thank you again for considering us for your work, and for your patience and professionalism in engaging so thoroughly in the peer review process.

Many Thanks,

Sam
