Earth Science, Systems and Society (ES3) is a new, fully gold open access journal, owned and published by the Geological Society of London using the systems and services of Frontiers Media.

ES3 is dedicated to the publication of timely and topical research of high importance across the breadth of the geosciences.

The journal has a special focus on cross-disciplinary research that showcases the relevance of geoscience to sustainability in society. The journal welcomes contributions, which explores challenges such as:

Climate change – past, present and future
Energy transition, decarbonisation and critical materials
Hazards and risk – prediction, mitigation and reduction
Urban development and land-use dynamics
Habitable planet – terrestrial and extra-terrestrial life
Holocene-Anthropocene interface
Big data, data science and mathematical modelling
Sustainable and responsible natural resource management
Geohealth – the intersection of geoscience and health
Earth systems science – natural and social science interaction
Monitoring change – advances in technology and instrumentation
Geoscience communication and ethics

The journal is also concerned with broad research from across the geosciences. Subjects include but are not limited to:

Biogeoscience
Energy, exploration and resource geoscience
Engineering geology, hydrogeology and environmental geoscience
Geochemistry, geochronology and isotope geology
Quaternary geology, geomorphology and landscape evolution
Geophysics (geodynamics, seismology and geomagnetism)
Marine geoscience and paleoceanography
Metamorphic and igneous geology
Paleobiology and paleoenvironments
Planetary geoscience
Sedimentology and stratigraphy
Structural geology and tectonics
Volcanology
