How do I report abuse of the site?
ClimateSciNet is a professional site, and we take all reports of abuse, spam, impersonation, inappropriate behavior, and other disruption very seriously. Although we do not review comments before they are posted, we will remove any offensive or unnecessarily inflammatory material. We will also remove SPAM and any content that is irrelevant to the purposes of our site.

Please don't post material that is overly personal in nature, use the site to "publish" your results (informal discussion is welcome, but this is not a journal), or post material that does not fall within the editorial scope of the site. Such material will be removed. Whenever possible, we will alert you before we remove anything. If necessary, we will ban disruptive users from the site. If you have concerns about a specific post or user, please contact us here.

Basic HTML
Here are some basic codes that you can use when modifying your pages. Not all text boxes require or accept HTML; try using your menu bar before resorting to these codes.

    = your italicized text
  • To create a clickable email address:
    If there is a "Create Link" icon:

    If there is no "Create Link" icon:
    <a href="mailto:youremailaddress@domain.com">youremailaddress@domain.com</a>
    = youremailaddress@domain.com
  • To embed a link:
