This year the Edward N. Lorenz Early Career Award was given for the first time to three young researchers for their outstanding papers published in Chaos in 2022. We, the selection committee, considered the large number of excellent early career papers and were able to select 20 outstanding papers for the Early Career Award Collection that were highlighted as Editortextquoterights Picks and Featured articles. From this pool, we chose three winners to receive the Edward N. Lorenz Early Career Award: Tiemo Pedergnana (ETH Zurich), Thomas Lilienkamp (Nuremberg Institute of Technology), and Yuzuru Kato (University of Tokyo). The winners will split a $2000 honorarium and are each invited to contribute a perspective article to the journal.
