Today, a paper that had been under review for more than a year was rejected. The editor said that the decision was driven by a confidential comment from one reviewer.
Given how advanced online communication has become, I think authors should be allowed to participate in a direct online oral discussion with reviewers after submitting a rebuttal, perhaps within a two-hour session.

Dear colleagues, we invite you to submit abstracts to our long-running AGU session: Vegetation Canopies: Physiology, Structure, and Function.
Submission link: agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pre…
I am seeking PhD students for Fall 2025 and postdocs. If you are interested, please contact me via email. Research keywords: carbon-water coupling, remote sensing, eco-hydrology, GEDI, SMAP, canopy radiation modeling, land surface modeling.
I am recruiting Ph.D. students (Fall 2025) and Postdocs (now). We have multi-year NASA-funded projects and flexible funding to support your research: active/passive, optical/microwave remote sensing, vegetation & land modeling. Check my website: sites.google.com/site/chench…
Today is the last day to submit your abstract! Contribute your work to help keep this 9-year-old session as an oral session. You won't be disappointed. Many thanks!
