Aims & Scope

Earth Systems & Environment (ESEV) publishes peer-reviewed original and review articles on the entire range of Earth systems and environment in order to further our understanding of the natural workings and various processes and interactions that govern the Earth systems in response to complex environmental problems caused by natural and human-induced forcings. The journal disseminates high-quality information on cutting-edge developments in the various research fields of Earth systems and environment based on new methods, theories, and applications. It has a multidisciplinary character, focusing on interrelated scientific topics combining diverse aspects of the Earth systems and environment including: Climate and atmospheric sciences; Earth and environment related agricultural sciences; natural hazards and engineering; marine sciences; ecology; desertification; pollution; geo-environmental hazards; droughts and floods; hydrosphere, lithosphere and troposphere dynamics; waste management; numerical models of earth systems; geographical information systems; remote sensing; and environmental health, etc. In order to meaningfully explore these topics, researchers in the environmental Earth science disciplines are invited to contribute their original research and review articles on significant scientific advances in the form of papers, technical notes, broad reports, case studies, reviews, brief communications and discussions. More about the journal: Published by Springer in partnership with King Abdulaziz University (KAU). Indexed in Web of Science ESCI and Scopus (2021 Cite Score = 6.5). Authors of the best papers receive an award and a remuneration from KAU each year. Papers are screening for originality and similarities before handling them by topical editors.
