Evolving Earth

  • ISSN: 2950-1172
Evolving Earth is a multi-disciplinary open access journal publishing novel geoscience research that addresses all aspects of Earth system science, the past and future evolution of our planet, and global change mitigation. The journal publishes papers that cut across the established boundaries of sciences and emphasise the inter-dependent facets of our evolving planet. We welcome submissions across four broad areas.The Earth System section addresses the science of how our planet works, and encompasses these topics amongst others: Deep Earth and Tectonic Processes; Atmospheric Science; Glaciology and Polar Science; Oceanographic Science; Terrestrial and Freshwater Systems; Ecosystems and Biogeochemical Cycles.The Earth History section focuses on the story of planetary evolution, from its origins 4.56 billion years ago to the present day, with an emphasis on the critical role of life, and covers these topics: Palaeontology, Evolution and the History of Life; Sedimentary Basins and Stratigraphy; Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, and Palaeoecology; Quaternary and Anthropocene Sciences; Human Evolution and Geoarchaeology; Earth Surface Processes and Geomorphology.The Earth Futures section is concerned with the science of global change including, but not limited to, the following topics: The Changing Nature of the Earth System; Climate Modelling and Feedbacks; Planetary Boundaries and Habitability; Extinction and Mitigation; Global Change Ecology and Remote Sensing of ChangeThe Earth and Humans section considers the science-based mitigation of global change in relation to its specific impacts on human society and infrastructure. Examples of fields relevant to this diverse area include: Food and Water Security; Geological Hazards and Risk; Sustainable Geoscience; Urban and Engineering Geoscience; Earth Resources and Energy; Critical Zone Science.Manuscripts may be submitted as either original research papers or as authoritative review articles, and we especially welcome proposals for special issues.
