Engineering Geology

ISSN: 0013-7952
5 Year impact factor: 7.9
Impact factor: 7.4

Engineering Geology is an international interdisciplinary journal bridging the fields of the earth sciences and engineering, particularly geological and geotechnical engineering. The focus of the journal is on geological or engineering studies that are of interest to engineering geologists, whether their initial training is in geology or civil/mining engineering. The studies published in this journal must show relevance to engineering, environmental concerns, and safety. Sample topics of interest include but are not limited to applied geomorphology and structural geology, applied geophysics and geochemistry, environmental geology and hydrogeology, land use planning, natural hazards, remote sensing techniques, soil and rock mechanics and applied geotechnical engineering. Paper types considered are original research articles, case histories, and comprehensive reviews. Case studies, in particular, should emphasize why the paper is of interest to the international readership of this journal, and/or what new or novel research or theoretical methods are being presented. The journal is intended for academic scientists, industry and applied researchers, and policy and decision makers.

Environmental Science & Policy

ISSN: 1462-9011
5 Year impact factor: 6.4
Impact factor: 6

Environmental Science & Policy advances research in the intersections between environmental science, policy and society. The journal invites scholarship within this broad thematic that fits with one or more of the following four focal areas: 1) Studies of the relationship between the production and use of knowledge in decision making; 2) Studies of the relation between science and other forms of environmental knowledge, including practical, local and indigenous knowledge; 3) Analyses of decision making practices in government, civil society, and businesses and the ways that they engage environmental knowledge; or 4) Studies that present actionable environmental research with a clear description of how it responds to specific policy directives and the pathways by which this research is informing (or could inform) decision-making. Research can address a wide number of environmental issues, such as climate change, food systems, biodiversity loss, human and ecological well-being, resource use- and extraction, land use change, and sustainability more generally. The journal aspires to achieve an appropriate balance between perspectives from the global North as well as the global South and welcomes discussions of (environmental) justice, equity and inclusion. The journal is particularly interested in cutting edge developments in inter- and transdisciplinary work on co-production; arts-based research; integrated nexus and landscape approaches; the trade-offs and synergies between environmental issues and policies; innovations in integrated assessment, monitoring and evaluation; and transitions and transformative change. Editorial Policy: Submitted articles can offer empirical analysis and can also advance new theory, conceptual frameworks or other innovations. To be considered for publication, articles should fit with the aims and scope of the journal. This means that they should address the relation between environmental science and knowledge, policy and society. To be considered, environmental research articles must go beyond simply stating potential societal and policy relevance. Submitted articles should be of international relevance and well embedded in relevant scholarly conversations and debates, and they should consider the scholarship that has been published in the journal. They should provide a compelling objective and specify how they advance the state of the knowledge beyond the current state of the art. In-depth case studies or local issues may be considered if articles clearly and sufficiently articulate their wider international significance. The journal will consider the following article types: research papers, reviews, perspectives, and letters to the editor. Specific requirements and guidance for each article type can be found in the guide for authors. The journal welcomes proposals or Special Issues, guidance for preparing and submitting a proposal can be found here. Authors should not submit to a special issue unless they have explicit approval by the managing guest editor of the special issue. Benefits to Authors: We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

5 Year impact factor: 3
Impact factor: 2.8

In association with the Estuarine Coastal Sciences Association (ECSA) Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science is an international multidisciplinary journal devoted to the analysis of saline water phenomena ranging from the outer edge of the continental shelf to the upper limits of the tidal zone. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science provides a unique forum, unifying the multidisciplinary approaches to the study of the oceanography of estuaries, coastal zones, and continental shelf seas. It features original research papers, review papers and short communications treating such disciplines as zoology, botany, geology, sedimentology, physical oceanography. The journal publishes topics including: Numerical modelling of estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems Species distribution in relation to varying environments Effects of waste disposal Groundwater runoff and Chemical processes Estuarine and fjord circulation patterns Meteorological and oceanic forcing of semi-enclosed and continental shelf water masses Sea-surface and sea-bed processes Estuarine and coastal sedimentary processes and geochemistry Brackish water and lagoon phenomena Transitional waters Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science does not accept manuscripts on data reports of mainly local interest.

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 Change The 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.
