Sustainable Geosciences: People, Planet and Prosperity is a gold open access (OA) journal focused on advancing sustainability through the publication of inter-disciplinary geoscience research addressing climate change and other pressing global challenges. Divided into three pillars: People, Planet, and Prosperity, articles will be mapped to geosciences projects and activities as they are positively impacting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's).The journal will include invited review papers and regular papers in a variety of geo sub-disciplines, with expert editors for each subject area.
