Earth System Dynamics (ESD) & Discussions (ESDD)

Earth System Dynamics (ESD) is an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of studies that take an interdisciplinary perspective of the functioning of the whole Earth system and global change.

The overall behavior of the Earth system is strongly shaped by the interactions among its various component systems, such as the atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, oceans, pedosphere, lithosphere, and the inner Earth, but also by life and human activity. ESD solicits contributions that investigate these various interactions and the underlying mechanisms, ways how these can be conceptualized, modelled, and quantified, predictions of the overall system behavior to global changes, and the impacts for its habitability, humanity, and future Earth system management by human decision making.

Earth System Science Data (ESSD) & Discussions (ESSDD)

Earth System Science Data (ESSD) is an international, interdisciplinary journal for the publication of articles on original research data(sets), furthering the reuse of high (reference) quality data of benefit to Earth System Sciences. The editors encourage submissions on original data or data collections which are of sufficient quality and potential impact to contribute to these aims.

eEarth (eE) & Discussions (eED)

eEarth (eE) was an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of short, topical papers in the Earth Sciences. eEarth stopped its business in summer 2009 (libraries will stay online).

The successor is the journal Solid Earth.

Field Actions Science Reports (FACTS)

Field Actions Science Reports (FACTS) is a unique forum that publishes manuscripts and opinion pieces related to field-based activities within various topic areas: economics, health, education, agriculture, urban planning and environmental issues.

FACTS Reports was published by Copernicus Publications until 2009 and is now available at: http://factsreports.revues.org

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI) & Discussions (GID)

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI) is an open access interdisciplinary electronic journal for swift publication of original articles and short communications in the area of geoscientific instruments. A unique feature of the journal is the emphasis on synergy between science and technology that facilitates advances in GI.

Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) & Discussions (GMDD)

Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) is an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of the description, development and evaluation of numerical models of the Earth System and its components.

History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS)

The journal History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is a platform for original research articles, review papers, and short notices, as well as book reviews and conference reports. The journal's remit is the publishing of original historical research, including new interpretations of historical material, facts and established knowledge. The journal should also improve and accelerate communication between scientists working in and interested in historical aspects of Geo- and Space Sciences. The journal's scope is to document historical facts and knowledge, and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience.

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS) & Discussions (HESSD)

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS) is an international two-stage open access journal for the publication of original research in hydrology, placed within a holistic Earth System Science context. The discussion and peer-review of submitted papers are handled in the open access discussion journal HESSD. Final papers, upon acceptance, appear in HESS. HESS encourages and supports fundamental and applied research that seeks to understand the interactions between water, earth, ecosystems and man. A multi-disciplinary approach is encouraged that enables a broadening of the hydrologic perspective and the advancement of hydrologic science through the integration with other cognate sciences, and the cross-fertilization across disciplinary boundaries.
