Amber Waves Awards 5 Covers of past Amber Waves issues

Each year, the Amber Waves Editorial Board and an external committee of distinguished judges select the best articles—features, findings, data feature, and indicator item—of the year. The 2004 honorees received their awards at a ceremony in April, along with the winners of the inaugural Helios Awards (see Amber Waves, June 2005, Volume 3, Issue 3). ERS congratulates the winners and the many other ERS staffers who supported these award-winning articles.
